From Artful Home, a celebration of hand-formed goblets in the Venetian tradition. Each glass is signed by the artist, Robert Dane. Gorgeous, and pricy - $310 each or $2380 for the set.

Versailles: the Hall of Mirrors

The Hall of Mirrors at the Versailles Palace is 239 feet long, 34 feet wide and 40 feet high. The seventeen windows that overlook the gardens, are echoed by seventeen arcaded mirrors along the wall. Click to enlarge. Truly breathtaking.

For all my art glass lovers, a retro piece found on a UK site, The Old Cinema. Delicious color and shape. Think mermaids and islands.
