Unveiled: See Amber Cowan's 2014 Rakow Commission Piece

Amber Cowan flameworks, fuses and hot-sculpts recycled, upcycled and second-life glass, usually American pressed glass from the 1940s to 1980s, to create contemporary sculpture that preserves the memory of the earlier objects. Her winning Rakow Commission Piece is showing in the left lower hand corner. http://www.cmog.org/bio/amber-cowan

Comments Please

It is very quiet on this blog. I know people view the blog, but no comments. Questions? We love questions, inquires, or suggestions.  I posted today about historical bottles and saw that I last posted about Lalique glass in May. Gasp. It hasn't been that long has it?

Yesterday, we took a walk through ebay on past ebay sales for American Brilliant Cut Glass. Sales are few.
Why do you think sales are few? It isn't just cut glass. It seems to be all types of glass. Maybe if we could shabby chic the glass it would sell?
