The black amethyst glass looks black unless you look at it through a bright light. I have several sets of glasses I keep in my china cabinet. I find joy in just looking at them or handling them and enjoying their craftsmanship. I would shit if one broke and I didn't have a complete set. Plus, who knows what they used to make that glass back in the day. They might be lethal. I don't want mercury or another heavy metal to slowly leach into my system and end up pissing in my pants before I'm 50. That would suck.

I have a set like these:



and a few other sets (some are black ruby glass). I use the wine glasses rarely if I have some really good wine.

I'm pretty mellow and free with most of my belongings, but a few things I don't let people mess with. I want to keep them nice and sometimes other people don't have respect for other people's belongings. I would hate to have to fuck someone up because they got drunk and broke a glass. I'm not violent, but I think I wouldn't like them after that as much.

I completely understand that. I cringe when someone turns a small child loose in my house, not that I don't like kids and understand their curiosity, but they always seem to head for the most fragile things.

Those are gorgeous btw. I'm sure there must be something lethal in that glass because lots of things back then were dangerous. At least the food was safe though.

It's funny the things I love don't appeal to anyone but me, but that's okay.
