I'm a New Murano Glass Collector Now |
| 10/27/2009 8:47:32 PM |
 I found this beautiful Murano pre-owned glass bowl online today and immediately ordered it. It reminds me of the colors of a male peacock which are beautiful birds (especially at a distance). Murano glass comes from Venice, Italy area. I read where Murano glass got its home because the powers that be did not like all the glass factories in Venice because of the fire danger,... Read More |

 Ever since I've been young, I've really admired hand blown glass objects and have many of them for my table, as vases for the flowers, wine glasses, bowls, and other beautiful hand blown glass art for the home. I found this interesting vase/decanter online and thought it would make a perfect gift for my mom who has quite the cutting garden in the spring. She raises some of... Read More |

You can find some really beautiful blown glass dishware sets online! |
| 10/23/2009 12:37:36 AM |
 Sometimes the most unique of pieces come in the rarest and hardest to find of locations. But I am finding that when it comes to blown glass dishware sets, you can actually find quite the selection online, and for a bit less than you might think that it would tax your checkbook. I like to keep blown glass dishware sets in my home because they are really fancy looking, they... Read More |

Nothing Excites My Grandmother Like Murano Glass |
| 10/22/2009 6:16:13 PM |
For years my grandmother has been collecting Murano glass. She has all kinds of different Murano pieces from vases to ashtrays, to glasses and even some cool looking art pieces. I don't really know how many pieces of Murano she has, but I do know that she was about 10 years old when she got her first Murano glass object.
She loves to tell the story of how she got it from her... Read More |

Hand Blown Glass Vases Make Wonderful Gifts |
| 10/17/2009 9:47:45 AM |
 Something I can't have enough of in my home is hand blown glass. I just think it is so beautiful. I've started buying it online now because it's a lot less expensive than it is in the local retail stores that specialize in high end hand blown glass. In fact, I ordered this vase today. I think it will look stunning on the fireplace mantle with daffodils in it in the... Read More |

Hand Blown Glass Factory |
| 10/14/2009 6:46:18 PM |
If you ever have a chance to visit a hand blown vase factory jump on it! It is something to see. I was able to participate in a tour of a hand blown glass factory when visiting my in laws back East. I spent an entire day going through a walking tour of the factory. I saw the hot molten balls of glass blown into pieces of glassware right before my eyes. The crafters really... Read More |

I learned through my website education that the hand blown glass has been around for centuries. It comes from Murano, Italy and is... Read More |

The Beauty Of Hand Blown Glass |
| 10/8/2009 10:42:00 AM |
We as humans have been looking at the beauty of hand blown glass and blown glass jewelry for hundreds of years. The craftsmanship and time that goes into making such beautiful pieces of art is amazing. Blown glass vases and large art pieces have such depth and detail; it is hard to believe that the object used to be molten and very dangerous to the touch. I was doing a... Read More |

What is Majolica? |
| 10/7/2009 1:43:48 PM |
Out of curiosity, I looked up on line what Majolica was? I discovered Majolica is a form of pottery. The history of Majolica pottery says that it was introduced at London's Crystal Palace in 1851. Majolica pieces reflect a Victorian interest in the natural sciences of botany, zoology and entomology. The pottery is vibrant with a lustrous glaze.
Majolica pottery pieces were... Read More |

Blown glass jewelry very unique |
| 10/2/2009 5:04:33 PM |
 A few years ago, I received a very pretty blown glass necklace and matching earrings. It had many small, round, multi-colored glass beads on the necklace. The main color was a beautiful, soft green and it went with most everything I wore. I have received many compliments on my blown glass necklace and wanted to add more glass jewelry to my wardrobe. I went online and found... Read More

Glass Vases are the Final Touch to Make My Event Perfect |

 Glass Vases
The glass vases sparkled and caught my eye when I walked into the banquet hall. I admired the clean lines and classic look of the entire table setting. The glass vases filled with fresh flowers was the final touch. Tonight was going to be perfect. Everything was under control and in order. The band was booked and should be showing up shortly. The DJ was already... Read More |

Glass vases add a nice touch |
| 10/2/2009 4:32:29 PM |
 I am redecorating a bedroom and everything is almost done, except for décor for on top of a short shelving unit. I don’t want to place more books or knick knacks on it, but something eye-catching. I love glass vases and I knew that is what I wanted. It is a guest room, so I don’t have to worry about having kids in that room. I have seen so many beautiful glass vases at... Read More
