lol! I'm a Dennis Kuchinich hippie. I don't have a ton of $$ to spend and usually make my own pieces from glass vases and parts from the head shop.

The lab-glass ones remind me too much of work... I look at that shit all day and don't need the reminder... haha!
Some of the handblown stuff is too 'busy' for me. Streamlined and simple is the way to go IMHO. Quality, plain, skilled glasswork over sloppy intricacy any day.
