Love the stories and the chronology of workmanship! But I was a little surprised (and dare I say, disappointed) that all of the examples were from when I, the last of the Gen Xers, was in high school. Would have loved to see earlier, and more original examples. I really expected these to be 60s, at least, if not earlier. I refuse to believe that I am old enough for things from my teen years to be museum worthy.

@skotmiller8465 Жыл бұрын
the Tree Top was not blown in a mold, it was blown freehand. the artist will heat part of the cane and then blow out the first ball, press in the "indent" then heat another part of the cane, blow the next ball, then heat the top of the cane, blow the final ball and pull (stretch) it up to create the top.

It's been practise for a very long time. With cultural value it's not the age relative to the constantly progressing time that's the point, but the craft and examples of rare technique. If treated right these will be in pristine condition in the 2090's at which point they will be official antiques (100 years signifing time passed for vintage to become exactly that). By then it's not unlikely this technique will be a valuable craft of the past. Although people still have glass baubles moat of them are the post war tech described unless you have collections from the past, and plastics are everywhere these days. Sadly. It's a reasonable alternative for families with toddlers and cats, but now everyone wants cheap and a new "theme" or color every year. To me it takes all the magic out of the tree but to each their own obviously. Happy Holidays!

Am always surprised that precious textile and antique items' preservationists don't wear masks when speaking while working on pieces. EVERY time a person speaks there is ALWAYS microscopic and even larger spit expelled. Particularly on textiles this spit ABSOLUTELY causes damage (rot and degradation of fibers).
