Encased In Glass

 We saw these at different glass exhibits. I don't know how the glass blowers can get these things inside the glass! Do you have a favorite? Would you buy one?












When you look at a piece of delicately spun glass you think of two things: how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.

Amazing. It's fascinating how they can do these. As pretty as they are I wouldn't buy one because it would be just another item that would collect dust in my house

I love everything glass, but I probably wouldn't buy.

They are so beautiful and I don't know how they make them either and that you know how much I love glass. No I would not buy any of these but there is one got to clear glass with the red swirls in it that's just above the first round ball. I love that one the rest of them are pretty but I would not want one. But I'm sure I would find a lot of things in that place that I would love to have

These are really beautiful.

Jeanette said...

Those are very pretty. Interested to know how the make them also. Must be from the inside out I think.

Martha said...

I don't buy that kind of stuff, but they sure are gorgeous!

Rose said...

They are unique and beautiful...I was going to say I would not buy one till I saw the balls, and yes, I would buy one of those because they are small enough to fit in here.

Oh how pretty! I think I'd buy one of the circular paper weights. But everything is gorgeous! ~Andrea xoxo

Each one has beauty. It must take a lot of skill to make those.

My brother and I visited several glassworks on our road trip back in the summer of 2018, driving through the county of SmΓ₯land (in Sweden) which is known for its many industries of that kind. I did buy a few items but only small ones as my home is already pretty full of stuff...

I like the balls. But all of it is pretty gorgeous. Sweden has a great history of creating fine glass at places such as Kosta and Orrefors. So I really like to see works of art in glass.

Those are so cool! I really like the balls. I probably wouldn't buy them, because it's something to set around again, but it's fun to see.

It's gorgeous. My brother worked for Corning glass works and I have a beautiful piece of Steuben glass-a blown vase. xo Diana

I like the first one best. I love looking at them, but I'm trying to get rid of things now.

I love glass and although I have too many "layabouts" already that need dusting, I would buy one of those paperweights! I love those kind of paperweights. I have one that has been in our family for nearly 60 years. xoxo

Very pretty! I am always drawn to glass but at this stage of my life I would not buy them, just admire them.

This & That

 I have read on your blogs that many of you have been dealing with high winds. We have been, too. The wind blew me into a pole a couple days...
