This is completely and utterly the most amazing glasswork I have ever seen. Before I read the title I thought the flower was real. How can that be glass? What an artisan in the truest sense of the word.

I went and saw pieces of the collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY. Truly amazing glasswork, and definitely worth seeing in person.

This exhibit is worth seeing, if you're in Boston. It's amazing the amount of skill and patience that went into making the pieces. And it's quite a large collection. Really incredible.
