Hand Blown Glass: Amazing Art

Hand Blown Glass is a beauty to behold. No seriously -- there is just something amazing about hand-made, hand-blown glass work. From a simple vase to an amazing art installation like the one shown below, hand-blown glass is a real art form and one that is great to collect and display.

Art installations like this are simply amazing. They start at around $25,000 but that includes on site installation by the artist! Amazing -- the piece you see above had over 100 individual pieces to it.

Of course, hand-blown glass can be much smaller and more affordable. Glass vases and bowls can be just as special, gracing your table as a centerpiece or on display on a shelf or in a cabinet. Look at this piece here:
