Unique Glass Home Decor

Decorative glass in the form of vases, perfume bottles and paperweights has long been used by interior decorators to spice up a normally dull room. Many of these items, however, must be painstakingly designed by professional artists and glass blowers. Hand-crafted glass perfume bottles must go through several steps before they are ready to be sold.

1. Preparing glass in accordance with the specified design size.
2. Glass blowers heat the glass and start shaping the different pieces.
3. First quality check to insure size matches the targeted design.
4. Artist etch pieces in accordance to the specified design.
5. Pieces are painted then prepared to be heated for 5–6 hours in a high-temperature oven to fix colors.
6. Once the pieces are done they are left for 3–4 hours. Next, painted and prepared pieces to go into the oven again for 5–6 hours.
7. A second quality check is made for color matches, gold degree, and any air in the glass.

Before buying a brand-name perfume from a department store as a gift for a loved one, consider purchasing a hand-made glass perfume bottle. These bottles are works of arts and can be filled with many favorite fragrances.
