Here are photos showing the majority of my glass. On the mantel are various shades in boudoir lamps, as well as some Lundberg Studios, Steven Correia, Pairpoint, and Orient & Flume vases. The hanging fixture has an assortment of gold shades, and the shelf has Lundberg and Correia vases. Contemporary glass was my "gateway drug" to Bohemian glass. I was intoxicated by all things iridescent.

I must get me a cabinet!! Especially with all the cats I keep!!: ) Great collection!
Thanks! I have a cat and two dogs, and have to keep things out of reach or away from wagging tails.
Great glass and those are really nice solid looking cabinets. I think you need a couple more cabinets. LOL :)
The cabinet in the first photo has shelves that are too thin. I recently bought a dozen strips of zinc-plated steel (1/8" x 3/4" x 38") and put one under the front and back edges of each shelf. This reduces the amount of bowing of the shelves, and more importantly, they put the shelf supports under a larger piece of metal, instead of supporting a very tiny corner made of glass. The other cabinet has shelves that are about 1/4" thick, very sturdy.
Whew! Glad to hear that. it was your first case that was giving me heart flutters looking at those shelves. :)
all of my good stuff is in my office. my one classic case like yours I weighed everything on before putting it on a shelf to make sure I wasn't getting near the 25 pound limit. LOL.
Beautiful collection! The cabinets look like same maker as one of mine!
You have an amazing collection. We can see some incredibly beautiful glass pieces!!!
Absolutely stunning Dave!
Thanks everyone. Cabinet 1 has a door that slides all the way to the left. I have to move a chair to allow it to open. Cabinet 2 has a door that moves halfway in either direction, so I usually slide it to the left and reach over everything if I just have to get one piece out, or move a chair and slide it to the right. But that cabinet also has a locking door, so I keep my more expensive pieces in that one.
Love the photo with your furry friends! You certainly have a beautiful collection, Dave.
wow what a stunning collection:)
Killer collection Dave. Very nice
Thank you folks. Leah, I still have one of the two cats, and both of the dogs. One of Gretchen's friends offered to paint them for us for a reasonable price, so we had her do those. She was pretty new at it and we wanted to help her out. Not bad, really, but now she has come a long way and her work is very professional.
It's always nice when you know the artist personally. They are a fantastic set. Very cheerful. When I took a second look at the art, I noticed the shades on the chandelier are of the same colour, but different shapes. I love it and what a creative idea to bring a collection together. All the way around.. you have a beautiful collection.
Wow Dave, you have an awesome and inspiring collection. How do you find enough time to enjoy it all? Im sure you manage!!
Jerrod, it's not easy sitting in my recliner and staring at it all, but someone has to do it :)
Haha, I bet its very difficult! If there ever comes a day when it gets too hard to look at it, let me know and I will come sit in the recliner for you. Hey, what are friends for? :)
Tell me more about the awesome clock on the wall when you have time. Its Beautiful.
My wife's grandfather was a pretty well-known folk artist. He made that. When we got it the movement was broken, so I replaced it with a quartz movement and it keeps perfect time, chimes, and the pendulum swings. I saved the original movement in case I ever want to put it back to original. I think it only needs a new pendulum, but it's a key-wind movement, and I prefer not having to wind it.
