I've just been reading some of the comments on Stuart's blog from "anonymous" people. Be brave - identify yourselves. I would have thought that Stuart would have received positive feedback from all the glass fraternity including the newbies like me - a collector not a glass blower. I know nothing about glass but I know what I like and if it is a "bread and butter" item - so be it.
