Nice colors and stuff, but I don't care much for the stem piece. It's way to fat and isn't porportioned with the bowl.

I'm purticular when it comes to glass spoons.

I just bought a new spoon last weekend for $50. It's a nice piece and some would say it is too much, but my pipe, and I bet yours too, is a one of a kind piece. Those $10 glass spoon are cheap glass and mass produced glass using a template. They are cheap for a reason, but mine was made by hand, with a high quality, hard to break glass. It is worth every penny. Not just the the strength, but the colors are much more vivid as well. Cheaper pipes have dull colors.

Like I said, I'm particular about my glass. I only use the cheap one when I'm out in public. If I break it or lose it, who cares, it's $10.
