Collecting NZ glass


I began collecting New Zealand glass after I relocated to Auckland from Dunedin in 1979. There was no art glass being made in Dunedin then, so seeing art glass made in New Zealand was a real thrill. I still have all eight of the ruby stemmed wine glasses made by Garry Nash that I bought in John Abbott's shop 'The Kiln' in Parnell Rd in 1980.

  1. And they're fun to drink red wine from, because you think there's still some left when there isn't. (I guess that might not be seen as fun by everyone)
