glass vases, blown glassI am mesmerized by glass.  It's amazing to me that a person can heat a substance like glass and manipulate it into anything they'd like.  I especially love glass vases; I always have to stop and look at the glass vases in the stores or online whenever I see them.  I think to myself, that maybe one day those glass vases will become collector's items! 

Hand blown glass vases are especially breathtaking!  I love when they add color to clear glass vases to give it a contrasting effect!  Streaking or blending colors can make for a very interesting work of art.  I've seen some lovely pieces in art museums that have actually made me drool over them!

Glass vases can be used in so many ways and in so many places in our homes.  Of course you can always use them to display either silk or real flowers, but you can also place them in a window seal to reflect the light or on a table all by themselves or with complimenting glass vases to set off a taller vase; glass vases make lovely center pieces!
