Glass Nuggets (or Globs)

GLASS GLOBS, or "Nuggets" if you prefer a more elegant term. These are oval to circular glass drops with a flat back. No two are exactly alike, because they are made in somewhat the same way cookies are made, on a sheet in an oven.

They are typically transparent colors, and transmit an even brilliance when held in the light. They are easily wrapped in lead came or foil, and add greatly to the appearance of hanging ornaments when used as berries, eyeballs, and the like. In some ornaments they take the place of bodies and heads on birds, bugs, and other friends from the forest. In lampshade work the larger ones serve as grapes, cherries and crowd scenes at bull fights.

You will notice a variety of sizes here, including within each size category. You will also notice a variety of color and quality. This is because, at the moment, we are getting our nuggets from three different suppliers. There seems to be something going on in the world of nuggets that is beyond our knowledge or control. Because if this, we felt it necessary to take photos of our nuggets so that you can see for yourself and decide what works for you. Who are we to say that you don't want two different shades of yellow?

Prices are per pound.
