You have the most stunning glass ozmarty, these are amazing, I just loooove!!!!! them, the second one looks like it has two flippers!....:-) just wonderful!
I've been looking for a Confetti Meteor for ages!
very beautiful:)
Hi Al and Bellin68 . I think it looks like Icecream with chips of cherries through it.
So beautiful and organic that one might expect them to have an earthy smell. When I saw the close up photo of the Ice Cream piece I thought is was a cauliflower.
The elegance and eccentricity of them is pure magic.
Check out more Confetti glass: this time it has mint drops as well!

Hi Al , I just love all that Confetti . there is something about it that makes one happy
It attracts the eye and provokes all sorts of good thoughts .
Love them Marty!

Ice cream and flippers...wonderful once again Ozmarty!
This is certainly one shape I will never ever get tired of looking at. Even Sally selling seashells by the seashore would agree. Your confetti vase is by far the best I have seen. I thought the Silveria decor on this shape was something else, but this is the cherry on top!
So now we have 16 Meteor vases here on CW. Thanks for sharing, Marty. I love it!
Thanks Leah , I would love to find a Silveria (at thre right price of cource) .
One could have a collection with just this shape , and what astunning collection that would be.
Thanks Amber and any one oelse I have forgotten to mention.
I am a skin flint ... don't pay much for my pieces . so have to setttle for what I get. some times one gets lucky , being at the right place at the right time or where alll the other collectors just don't see the piece on ebay etc . that is becomeing a very rare event.
Hello ozmarty and how are you ?
Jet lagged ! just returned from Vacation in Europe . too mant hours (days ) in the air and airports.
OOps should read too many hours
Thanks for thinking of Me
anytime ozmarty:)
how wonderful that you were on vacation :) i bet you had a wondeful time :)
Mostly , Finnair lost our luggage . I got mine back 23 days late an my wife still has not got hers .... over 7 weeks missing! they caused sush angst! it would take me ages to go into it and the language would not be printable on this forum!!
Will take pix and post when have a chance . have to do a long drive tomorrow and move some of my parents in laws stuff. I do not feel like I am in a fit state to be on the roads . but it is a must do!!!
wow iam so so sorry that has happened :) wow that is odd how your wifes luggage is missing. i hope it wasnt a high end vintage luggage.
pick up a couple of little pieces for my collection at the end of the trip. could not buy before that as aftaid I would not have a propper bag to carrry things back to Oz in.
thats great that you had the right bag to carry things back from the trip and i cant wait to see what you have broughten back to oz:)
No high end stuff . Just things she likes and needed as well as presents she had for family ... grand nieces and neprew etc.
I travel with a large hard case . it is a bother sometimes but means that glass etc. can be packed safely. Perhaps it was that my case was so big it stood out from my wifes. which looks like a milloion others except for some coloured ribbons and her name tag.
Pardon me if I do not continue this good conversation but am fighting to stay awake and must prepare dinner.

Must say I do not know about these pieces . They look Ok but personnally I would buy older Scandinavian pieces or pieces by designers I know . Ask Vet he has more knowledge in this field.
