Some of our glass objects

While working to get a proper database we have made an inventory in excel-format. (Most of the text is in Swedish, but... pictures are universal?)
Download inventory list. (It is a living document; download a new file each time to get the latest version)
The file has (8) 7 sheets: (instruktion); books and articles; glass artifacts; glass-LH (a donation to us Febr'26); recordings and pictures; machines, -pcs, -tools; pantograph pattern templates; other.
Excel has a very rudimentary search system.

Below some subjectively chosen glass objects:

Stained and lustered

of which we don't have much: a few examples from Hovamntorpps Nya and some anonymous.
