decorative glass, stained glassSome of the most beautiful art in the world is stained glass and decorative glass. I have had a lifelong hobby collecting this kind of glass because I think it is simply beautiful. The artists who create it are truly skilled at what they do. If you are ever in Santa Fe, you should visit the studio in this city that allows people to watch while the artisans make decorative glass and blown glass. The process is simply amazing.

Many people collect art glass and display it in their homes. The art is also useful. The crystal can be used as vases, candy dishes or dessert trays, or as salad bowls. Serving a light lunch with beautiful greens in a gorgeous crystal bowl would be a fine way to welcome spring and set a pleasing table for your guests. Glass is such a versatile material to work with and there are so many ways you can use decorative glass to enliven your dining and decorating experience. Some of the art glass is very expensive, but you can also find beautiful pieces within your budget.
