Some time in the recent past, an important art glass historian came home to find he had suffered this incredible loss. It had taken him a lifetime of collecting to assemble this assortment of Astro/Bohemian Art Nouveau art glass. A negligent contractor working in his building caused this irreplaceable damage. Luckily this was a small portion of his vast, varied and historic collection. He shared these pieces with some of us that he calls colleagues and friends. Thank you Alfredo.

Tony, Very nice tribute to Al and his collection!
I foresee a wonderful tabletop mosaic with those pieces!
cogito, I'm getting ready to do a new counter top and had the same thought !
Oh no! These are so pretty yet so sad at the same time. I am so sorry Alfredo.
SO SORRY ALFREDO , FOR YOUR LOSS.
i have to say a counter top , or glue all of the pieces together and make some kind of sculpture or art piece.
