We didn't notice until we got home and unwrapped it.Onesimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413061573637313957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17167934.post-14214854718963862422010-11-01T08:23:33.683+11:002010-11-01T08:23:33.683+11:00Hi Steve,

I had a quick look at your website and was impressed by your collection.<br /><br />My wife is the big glass collector, but I enjoy helping her to find new things for her collection.<br /><br />Her collection started with a few Caithness vases and bowls. Then on TV she saw some John Ditchfield pieces, and while looking around to find some Ditchfield, she came across Colin Heaney. And that's where her collection of Australian glass started.<br /><br />She now has several Heaney pieces as well as Sean Donahue, Peter Crisp (whose studio is about an hour from our home, Helmut Hiebl (who lives about 20 mins away - but I heard no longer works due to ill health), Matthew Farrell, Setsuko Ogishi, Jon Firth.<br /><br />She also has a few foreign pieces - Caithness as mentioned, M'Dina, and Isle of White. The latter two are both studios started by Michael Harris.<br /><br />I don't currently have many photos posted on the web but there is one of a Colin Heany vase posted elsewhere on this blog.Onesimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413061573637313957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17167934.post-21471754844768818272010-10-30T15:37:51.201+11:002010-10-30T15:37:51.201+11:00Love the aussie glass stories, I collect too and j...Love the aussie glass stories, I collect too and just got given a 1980's Hiebl Jug as payment for some computer work this morning.
