Thought some might enjoy the workings of the talented men at the Waterford Crystal Factory in Waterford, Ireland.

Nice!! I live about 1 hour from the Corning Glass Center...they used to have an ongoing production area much like these pics that were part of a tour. I believe it was called the Steuben Glass Works. See link...located at the Corning Factory (located in Corning, New York...Steuben County) I was always amazed by the engravers grinding on the glass piece with a fixed mandrel and cutter..looking through 2 layers of oddly shaped glass and getting the engraving perfect....I guess practice doing this is the key..just imagine how many pieces were scrapped in the learning curve!

Very nice. Some of the pieces remind me of ice sculptures I see at winter festivals.

Impressive - but I'd be the "bull in the China shop" in there (visualize broken glass all over the place)!
