blown glass, hand blown glass




     Murano glass is world famous for its beauty and collectability. Hand blown glass has adorned kings and queens for hundreds and thousands of years. Murano glass jewelry originated in Italy. Some estimates put the manufacture of the hand blown glass at around 1500 A.D. The glass is sold all over the world and I have a few pieces in my blown glass collection. My favorite artist is a man out of Oregon that makes the most beautiful blown glass eggs. I have ont that is over two feet tall and eighteen inches at its widest spot. It is definitely the center piece of my collection. There are som many custom glass blowers out there that are very proud to show off their beautiful art work. Logging onto the internet and checking them out is well worth the time and effort.


     I am having a sword and spear set made as we speak, to adorn my den. The artist making this for me assired me that it will be a one of a kind piece that will be absolutely beautiful, cant wait!
