Really glad I was able to sit in on a lecture by Ian Simmonds held yesterday in Houston at the Museum of Fine Arts • Bayou Bend Kilroy Center on his recent research on cut glass made in New York in the mid-nineteenth century. Fascinating.

Certainly a glasshouse screw up but I’m just curious if there are more of these out there. – Corey Hohnerlein
