Mid Century Cased Glass

I will never have the

pricey, desired, holy grail

of Scandinavian glass.....

but I have a few original, 

and a few good pieces.

The colors of the real deal

are just 

faaaaaantastic,

and hard to dismiss

or copy.

Cased Glass:

: glass consisting of two or more fused layers of different colors often decorated by cutting so that the inner layers show through —called also case glass

Behold.

My humble collection 

gleaned from

DI, Etsy, and Goodwill

Kinda in love with the pure colors

of this glass.

Don't need the pricey ones,

enjoy the few humble ones I have!

But appreciate their artistry!
