It's Saturday again, and this week the theme is GLASS
I love glass, and have vases, bowls, ornaments, so my only difficulty was to decide which to share with you all today.
The slightly strange-looking item below was given to me some years ago by my eldest son and his lovely lady.
It's an ornamental glass item, made in Ireland and intended as a spirit-burning lamp, although I'm sure it would give a poor light.
That doesn't matter, as it's lovely to look at.
My family knows I love Celtic knotwork - I've used some simple designs myself - so this was bound to be a successful gift.Thank you both.
For more glass pictures, and to join in the fun, visit tnchick who started the whole thing.
Happy Hunting!

Ooh that's a lovely gift! Happy weekend
You know I love that too but your presentation is excellent.
That is a stunning piece of glass work! A lovely captured.
Have a great weekend!
It's interesting to note that there is a spirit-burning lamp.
I'm intrigued by the shape - and not just because I have Irish blood in my veins.
I'd love to know what sort of light it emits when lit.
By the way, my K post for ABC Wednesday is an echo of the kite-flying sequence that opens Chapter 12 in my novel!
Perfect conversation piece with its weird shape. Looks very fragile though.
Wonderful! Gosh the vases I have around the house. I never even gave them a thought.

My ice cubes made out of glass are one of those useless things I own...

What a nice gift and so lovely.
Beautiful gift. Great choice for the glass theme.
We think glass is beautiful too, and I like your pretty lamp. It must have been hard for the artist to make it.
I am amazed at what people can do with glass, I have watched people do things like this amazing

Oh yes! A wonderful piece of craftsmanship. What a thoughtful gift. Thank you for sharing.
It's beautiful and looks so light !
What a pretty piece :) Great pic and choice!
You are all very kind. Yes, I agree, it's a piece that needs touching. I've never filled and lit the lamp, because I'm afraid it might come to some harm. So it just sits there looking pretty!
Poor light or not, that's still a beautiful oil lamp.
That is a lovely piece of glasswork.
This is great....Love it...Thanks for sharing...

That's an excellent gift - I didn't know there's a spirit-burning lamp. But I wouldn't mind receiving one, too. Sorry if I came in late :D
I don't know how I missed this earlier! It is so beautiful. I love Celtic Knots and Artwork. I've never seen anything like it!
