    Questions?  Please ask!  I am always happy to combine shipping for multiple item purchases.
    Each of these pieces are completely handmade and thus will vary slightly.  The process is:
    The gatherer bring a blob of hot glass to the craftsman, who shears off the desired amount.  He takes the carved metal mold/stamp and stamps it down on the ball of glass, flattening it and making the design.  The piece cools briefly, is slid over to a paddle and carried to the lehr where it cools slowly, which keeps the piece from cooling too quickly and helps harden the glass.  After several hours of cooling, the pieces are taken to the grinding department where they are drilled for hanging.   Each piece will vary slightly!
    If you are ever in the area,  visit Blenko Glass in Milton, WV to see these and other pieces being made!  Great craft and great people there!
