Glass has always been a favorite material in creating decorative as well as functional products. We use glass in our windows to bring light in. We install glass tiles in our bathrooms. They are easy to clean and they create a very modern look with its splash of sheen and color. Glass vases have been in existence since time immemorial. They have gone through a cycle of design statements that are followed by enthusiasts.

A hand blown glass vase, however, is something else. Initially produced only in far-off cities like Venice, hand blown glass pieces are now produced around the world. Watching artisans doing their thing is a scene to behold. You marvel at the way they work with liquid glass. It is amazing how they can incorporate designs and create unique pieces using their specialized tools.
