This was a glass-working demo... Here they were just making solid whimseys using a blow torch, but at the museum in Ballston Spa they have a regular glass-blowing setup where they conduct classes...

Nice Ron, I guess it was fun, huh? Do any of the local nurseries have those ink trees. I want to plant one in the back yard if they survive the NE winters.

if they survive the NE winters.

Best to bring them in for the winter, Eric... That freeze/thaw cycle can wreak havoc with those colorful blooms!!!

You should go next year...It's a nice spot... But for our puppy, we would have gone early, taken in the museum and stayed over...

I love the Saratoga bottles!

Hey Cindy...

I knew you were looking for a Congress & Empire with the "E" on the front so I kept my eye out... Saw many... They hovered around $100, so I wasn't sure if you wanted to pay that much... Seems like there might be one coming up on ebay...

Thanks, Ron - I picked up an Empire Spring pint in PA a couple of weeks ago, and have a quart size sort of in the works. Also may be purchasing an amber Oak Orchard Acid Springs. I don't find the reference books I have very helpful in pricing the Saratogas, but a couple of collectors have been generous in sharing their knowledge and experience.

Love the Wolfe's - Is it yellow, or lime green?

I don't find the reference books I have very helpful

Hi Cindy...
