	Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You will have realised that I use this UGLY forum to bring you the opposite. Today I took my wife to Birmingham (England) to see a wonderful museum. The area of Birmingham that the museum is in was an area famous for producing some of the most beautiful glass objects ever produced. It is now long-since a thing of the past but the museum keeps the art alive. What I loved today was not just the beauty of the objects but the beauty of the building and what is left of it's garden. There is a tree, which I believe to be a Sorbus (mountain Ash or Rowan) which is not usually a very long lived tree. Just look at this one that is in the garden at the front of the museum. This is the wonderful building that houses the glass collection. If you love glass you would love this place. http://www.dudley.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/museums--galleries/glass-museum

Glass is ageless.

Although the designs date the object remains so original.

China and porcelain degrade with time but glass remains largely pristine.

Here is a beautiful cameo (etched) glass lamp by Baccarat.

What is your favourite glass item?

	Hi Roger I used to work at brack way glass company in Rosemount MN when I was young. and I check beer and pop bottles when they came through and packed them.I worked there for three years until I had my third child. we watch the bottles for cracks, and wings which ment they had a some glass that was in side the bottle that ran all the way across the bottle. some times the bottles that were not made right we got to keep. were beautiful.glass was made out mostly sand. this is what it looked like very interesting kids from school came through all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs_mSFIAS-w

	Hi Roger, I am going away from glass, because you know me and my Native Americans I have never been much for glass. I think this pottery is lovely. Hugs, Myrna
