Dear Madams and Sirs
On the occasion of my ” Conference ” of the ” Glass History :” The magic shapes of the Glass during the Centuries “ / “ The bottle shapes the Art History “ and my presence at the International Glass Biennial 2010 , I ‘m very delighted to introduce myself , hoping you will be pleased to know something about my cultural and artistic activity in Italy .
My name is Paola Meneghin , I live and work in my Family Home called “ La Piccola Venezia “in the countryside in the Northern Italy .
I began to dedicate my life to all aspects of Art ten years ago .
At first I followed my natural artistic sense by experimenting with various techniques , then studying Italian Art History at the University of Udine .
I felt it was very important to take up again the ancient hand crafted traditions, so I began working in this way , teaching people to discover and develop the value of the human resource of our own natural manual skill and our native sense of art .
I ‘m personally leading researches of ancient glass , I write about historical places in Italy , some almost unknown , some very well known , I sketch artistic picture and take photographes .
I also do have a unique collection of big blown glass particular of this areas ‘900 ( one of these masterpiece will be held at the Museum of the Exhibition- on the photo )
I ‘ m a you disposal for any further information you may need to get in contact with me if you will take the opportunity to develop this first contact to start a cooperation and a cultural exchange .
( Allow me to enclose the materials I’m working out for the next 2011 )
Looking forward to hearing from you very soon , best regards

The tree artist girls are so talent, fun, always available for questions.They stay in the studio with my small girls (4 and 7 years old). We love the Deana pices.She is very creative and my daugther bring home a beautiful green purse all made in glass. Amazing!
It was the daily basis best show the ship had, and we lucky enough to win a piece in one of the drawings.
Thank you for the show !

Thanks!
Dear Sirs/Madam,
Could you please tell me how to go about finding a glass artist using your website? I am a glass vase collector and am stumped on who made a particular glass vase as sometimes they aren’t signed, sometimes they have Brian or some first name?, and sometimes the signature is indecipherable. Thank you for your assistance.
Hi Jane, you can send an image of the object by email to curatorial@cmog.org, and we can check with our curators to see if they possibly recognize the artist. You can also browse the glass collection (http://www.cmog.org/collection/search) for objects with similar styles or technique and see if the artist is attributed. The Advanced Search filters sort by color, technique, material and more.
I have a glass vase that I would call satin glass. It has been in my family for many years. On the bottom for a trademark it has a picture of a bull head.I have showed this to many antique dealers and looked in many books trying to find a company that used this logo. But nobody can tell me anything about it. I would appreciate anything that you can tell me about it. Thank you, Nancy Liner Odessa,Washington
Hi Nancy, If you send an image of the object by email to curatorial@cmog.org, our curators can take a look at the vase and see if they possibly recognize the marking.
Kudos to the CMOG bloggers. The postings are fascinating to read. Keep up the good work.
Hi, I’m 53 years old now and when I was very young my parents took us to corning glass works company. At the time, you were able to go into the what they called the junk glass yard or bin and pick what you wanted. well I have 5 pieces of glass, one is a huge chunk of very dark glass with with crystals on it. the measurements are 7″h x 10″w x 5″d. smooth on the back w/ a small corner of crystals. the other 2 pieces are clear, and other one looks black the last one looks like a white snowball with alittle black mixed in it. My question is, is there anyway I could have them blown into something? I live in Binghamton, ny right now, but I just had major back surgery. I could send you pictures if you would like. My name is Sheila Place 607-722-3113. thanks for your time.
