While visiting Red Matthews last week I made a trip to the Corning Glass museum.
It was very crowded that Labor day weekend and was quite difficult to photograph
any of the displays as you felt forced to keep moving along to allow everyone to see the exhibits.
I did my best to photograph the American made glass particularly the Historical flasks.
In random order here are the flasks , bottles and vases.

4. The Jenny Lind/Tree flask at the top might be the rarest of historical flasks as it is the only known specimen.
