I don't know where you live, so if they go missing, it wasn't me. 
The Suhajek globe vase has me swooning. I am glad they live where they are appreciated and looked after with the relevant reverance.

  Thanks Sue, they're a joy to look after.

Just to add an example of Sam's work from this period, which would have been blown during his time at the Lots Road studio.

Are you being cruel to be kind? That makes me slump. The slump of witnessing perfection.

[Greg.]

Sorry Sue Been going through a few old photos, one of my favourites from this period.

Sam's work doesn't really need promoting, it speaks for itself!

You've got me digging. They're peculiar photos, taken with a dumb phone through thick glass, and the pics are small. I'm trying one. They are from the Dan Klein Exhibition in Edinburgh, 2011.

ta-da - they work! Mostly of a wonderful bottle with an explosion. They wouldn't let me have it.
The other piece which gets in, is by Ronald Stennett-Willson.

Thanks for digging that one out Sue, that's some piece! Looks quite early, do you remember the date? Not surprised you wanted to take it home.

Just found the below link regarding Dan Klein, also shows the Herman bottle you kindly added photos of above. Love the David Reckie piece shown in the link too. (Hope the link works)

The bottle with the explosion is '71, according to that article. It was very gold. I think the staff were a bit worried I was trying to get inside the cabinet it was in. I wasn't able to gather the information about the glass as well as pohotgraph it.
But the pics are in the wrong thread, now you've discovered the date.

Maybe a kind moderator might be able to move these previous 3 posts to the earlier Studio Glass Movement thread. Not sure how these things work.....

I've reported myself.
