Our glass collection is still expanding. Despite not knowing much about the field, we keep picking up bits that we like and end up keeping them. Murano, Riihimaki, Holmegaard, Ingrid Glas… new names I’ve learned over the past few months. I think I can recognise these well enough now; there’s still plenty more to find out…
