There are a lot of very good videos by the Corning Museum of Glass there..but most folks on here probably already know about it.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the reprise of this wonderful topic. Hey, Happy Birthday, eh.

The Stiegels are way outta my league, but I sure can appreciate them from afar. Never had one in hand, can you speak to the feel and weight? I've seen them behind glass during my lightning tour of the Corning Museum last winter. Thanks for the video, Melinda.

As you can see the folk art in Germany differs slightly in the style and motifs than their German American counterpart Stiegel.
