Hello!
I was lucky enough to have been taken to Krakow for a fabulous holiday recently, and I returned to the lovely Art Glass shop, GaleriaBB, which we had found when there 10 years ago.
Isn't it wonderful that it is still going?
I treated myself to a fascinating shot glass by Peter Borkovics, and yesterday did a bit of a google on him, finding this website.
There is
very interesting information here, not to mention some lovely pics!
Not only about the making of diatreta, but about the making of the shot glass - which reminded me of a paperweight query Wuff had, about a weight with a hollow skull inside it, and there was a fair amount of speculation as to how it was made.
My shot glass has faces inside, and it was made using a plaster mould, which then has to be broken up to be removed. Thus each glass is an individual thing - a new mould has to be made for each one.
