stone-glass installation, marking the entrance to Glassville




I visited a glass museum sometime on July 2006. It's a display of thousands of glass-work and glass-bead collections. The Museum is located somewhere in a Japanese countryside.


Here are some samples of beautiful glass works.






i think these are over-sized for a functioning wineglass. i think they are mainly for display.
























flower vases






rabbits!






fruit and flower containers


















assorted plates







middle-eastern inspired design of a chalice






lovely cups









beautiful jars







assorted wineglasses






floral water pitcher








plates and a flower button






glass snakes
