| A Personal Note From Jeffrey |
|
I really enjoy appraising because I get to see so many wonderful and beautiful things. For my own collection I prefer art glass in all its various forms. My special pieces are large and colorful--they look good enough to eat, and that is exactly what I like about them.

| Cleaning Glassware |
| Glassware can be gotten very clean very easily by soaking the item in dishsoap and (20 Mule Team) borax overnight, then brush with a soft brush. |
