Title: Broken Heart
Post by: johannes on December 11, 2014, 09:58:26 AM

Hi,
I am new here, desperate looking for help: we have a glass heart-sculpture used for Christmas hanging on the wall, unfortunately it fell down and broke. My wife is very unhappy - and I cannot find a replacement. It might be Orrefors, but they do not recognize it. Now I found your forum - ANY idea? Lots of thanks in advance
Johannes

I think this may be Pukeberg, it is very like my piece here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,3557.0.html

Would this help to make up for it?
Not quite the same but very festive  and has the heart in the middle?

Man, the cost of a broken heart... of glass. 

Nothing like the 'cost' of an emotional broken heart can be... some of which can be measured in $$$ and some that never can be.   :'(

Yeah, "so it goes".

So pleased you got it Johannes, I know how it feels when a special piece of glass is broken... I hope it arrives safe and sound.
Remember, it was kisslikeether that gave the maker and designer, won't you?
I hope it makes your wife happy.... I am sure it will.
Happy New Year,
Rosie. :)
