Happy Turkey Day!

So much to be thankful for....


Our friendly UPS guy had brought a gift for the the glass school's library : a 1944 edition of a book on Victorian Glass.
Inside the book are great examples of antique glass forms - some photos below:

Glass chicken & fowl tureens, bowls, dishes, servers and toppers abound - as they were a favorite motif of the decorative / functional novelites.

But the extensive and elaborate glass shoes and rollerskates are a surprise- who knew the Victorians had a foot fetish?

A Big Thanks to our UPS guy - and Best Wishes to All for a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!
