Factors to Consider for Artisan Glass
Since each piece is handmade slight imperfections are normal and add to the unique qualities of each art glass piece. Little spots, bumps, drips, scratches, bubbles, and small variations in size, pattern, color or surface are not considered to be defects in handmade mouth-blown studio glass art; these are normal. They are the marks that make each piece of handmade studio art glass as unique as a fingerprint. No two pieces are exactly alike.
