Scott Don’t Use This For Drying a Rug
I think Mr. Coots wife should know the value($) of the vase securing the rug.
There must be some other object in the house that can anchor the rug.

WVMAG Press Release and Invitation
Press Release September 1, 2016
The Museum of American Glass in West Virginia is proud to announce the opening of The Martin Massman Collection of Steuben Glass on October 1, 2016, in Weston, West Virginia. This new exhibit features 210 pieces of Steuben Glass, with introductory dates spanning from 1933-1998. It is one of the largest collections of modern Steuben in the world, containing many pieces that are one of a kind or that were made in very limited editions.
This prestigious collection was amassed by Martin Massman, a California entrepreneur and Broadway producer, who passed away in 2014. Its acquisition by the Museum of American Glass is an important addition to our holdings, as well as a significant event for the State’s culture and arts community. It will be a major draw for glass lovers from all over the country (and world) to visit West Virginia.
The opening reception will be held on October 1 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia, 230 Main Avenue, Weston, WV 26452. Admission is free and the public is invited. Light refreshments will be served. The ribbon cutting will be at 2:15.
The entire collection will remain on display for a minimum of five years, so visitors who are unable to attend the grand opening are encouraged to add the Museum of American Glass to their travel plans. Come see this spectacular display of the “finest crystal in the world.” Admission to the Museum is free. It is open daily, Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., and on Sunday, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
