SGS

I say Compote, you say Comport

The 2011 SGS Convention is but a memory –  a very cherished memory – for all who attended.  In 2011 we learned about stretch glass comports.  The live auction that Bill Richards had on Friday, July 29th in the display room had a wide range of Stretch Glass pieces. There were a number of lucky bidders who got to take some of this great stretch glass home with them.  We hope you enjoy these highlights from the 2011 Stretch Glass Convention, Show & Sale:
