Title: Unusual Hand Blown Stemware w/ Swirls and Tiny Animals
Post by: dorian_graye on July 08, 2010, 02:56:07 PM

These are so bizarre and so delicate.  I've never seen anything like them.  I was flabbergasted at how tiny the little glass animals were inside the glass and how you make something so tiny with glass.  Anyway, I'd love to know if anyone has seen this type of thing before.  Any information or ideas would be welcome.  Thank you!

I just love that.  Up until today, I had never even heard of such a thing as this.  And what an interesting history!  Just wanted to say "thanks" again.  :D
