Miriam Martinez of the Corning Museum and Lisa Ackerman of Orange, California have sent along a link to the Steuben glass company web site picturing a pair of their new colored vessels.

Next, Charles Sweigart has a few thoughts on the listing on eBay for the starting bid of $120,000 for the Thistle pattern “complete” set. I think his comments suggest a discount is called for.

The pieces listed only add up to 77 pieces! What, no free shipping!!

11 goblets in a set of 12 is far from complete :^)
