My little glass collection
« on: June 19, 2014, 10:16:12 am »
Hello!

I shared some pieces here: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=39087

But all the collection is here: http://collectantic.wordpress.com/

I hope you enjoy! Feel free to ask questions or give missing informations!

I sold my coins collection, just keeping 5 of them I'll add the pictures asap.

Best regards

Very nice.  I would worry about them being so fragile.

that's an impressive collection collectantic, with some very beautiful pieces.
i don't collect glass myself, but my wife did. most of hers were Victorian to modern era perfume bottles, but she had some nice ancient glass too...

Thanks a lot!

Yes it is fragile... I broke one... I was very happy as you can imagine, and another one lost a little piece because the glass is altered and only 0,1 mm!

The candelstick is very nice! Enodia

yes, that was her favorite too.

nothing has broken yet (fingers crossed), but with a young dog who is part retriever and part bulldozer i live in constant fear.

Beautiful collection.  I would love to have just one glass piece to display in my office.  Your photography is fantastic as well!  It really adds to the pieces IMO.

 BEWARE of the CATS! They will jump on the furniture. The cat I USED to own broke two of my favorite antique bottles. I was sick for days.

Ahahahah Barabus that song would have been perfect I guess: http://vimeo.com/67287909


Yes but my cats are old and they don't jump more than 30cm, the biggest problem comes from hairs... as I broke one bottle Iam more dangerous ahah

You collect glass too? Maybe you would share pictures?
