    Just thought I'd share my very first piece of Art Glass with you folks.
    I normally only collect vintage Art Nouveau and Art Deco items (mostly bronze), but when I saw this remarkable glass sculpture (signed on the bottom "C(harles). Wright, 1976") I was unable to resist buying it.

    The piece measures just a hair under 8 inches tall by 4 inches wide at the base, and those amazing opalescent "swirling" forms change color depending on the light and background!
    Anyway, I hope I don't become "infected" with the Art Glass bug because it's hard enough already controlling myself when it comes to resisting Deco and Nouveau pieces (sheesh!)........

      A.R., I suppose I'd be willing to swap with you if you happen to have a 2014 Corvette or a Shelby GT500KR......

      P.S. just kidding- I'd be willing to swap you for 2013 models too......; - )
