Venice Glass
Tip of the day: Buy glass and glasses in Venice Our companion bought these beautiful goblets in Venice at our friend's shop. I didn't consider buying goblets, because I didn't know the merits or history of Venice glass. (I'll show you what I bought in a future post...) If you'd like to know more, here's a link to an 1881 NYT article on glass making in Venice. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D07E2DD1730EE3ABC4B51DFB466838A699FDE Upon arrival at our Swiss friend's apartment, he served up some orange juice in these lovely glasses. But, the big surprise is the absolute lightness of these glasses. They are super super light - a hallmark of this type of Venice glass. A very nice momento of our trip.
