Marc Braso:
I managed to obtain a basket made by Jesus Braso recently, has anyone else seen  one of these?
Marc

Frank:
Marc is aware of this example in Dominics article, scroll down to "Braso’s Baskets" http://www.ysartglass.com/Ysart/DominicP.htm and is on the hunt for others.

Pip:
Crikey - Dominic's article paints a very colourful image of Jesus!  ;D  He sounds like a right character - a complete contrast to the beautiful and delicate basket photographed!

Marc Braso:
He was a very colourful character Pip, It is hard to imagine that he made such delicate and beautiful glass. He was a very humble man happier to be in the employ of others,and lived very simply even in his last years. He truly was a wonderful person, doting on his grandchildren, who would take great pleasure in taking me to the pub when i was only 11 and letting me stick my straw from my coke into his pint to get an illicit sip of beer!!
He died in 1975 but is remembered fondly as Grampo as we called him.     

Pip:
Thank you so much Marc for sharing that with us - your Grampo sounds absolutely brilliant.  It's great that his amazing glass lives on and gives us the opportunity to talk about him now over 30 years after his death!  What a legacy  :)  I shall make a concerted effort to look out for his glass - did he sign his pieces at all?
