It was right after one of them had an "experience" with a ghost in that house. Of course they blamed it on the ghost but it was my hot soapy water.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-90701611024229201242010-07-31T02:30:28.037-07:002010-07-31T02:30:28.037-07:00The one above is quite masculine, Raz - shortish a...The one above is quite masculine, Raz - shortish and stubby! Others are more slender and feminine, and both are sometines adorned with engraving. The only decoration on this is that internal tear bubble in the stem. I used and washed it again last night. The important thing is not to plunge them in hot water, and don't use abrasives! Fingers and cold water will do.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-90495261669592380082010-07-30T16:35:17.643-07:002010-07-30T16:35:17.643-07:00I must say I am suprised by these glasses, I expec...I must say I am suprised by these glasses, I expected something much heavier, larger and more ornate. They are quite lovely. Simple and unadorned. Very much what I fancy myself in a glass. But I would never dare wash it.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-4591584309380702192010-07-29T12:21:56.950-07:002010-07-29T12:21:56.950-07:00So true Tom...golf is a sad illness of which I can...So true Tom...golf is a sad illness of which I can speak firsthand.

So long as they stay intact, they never lose their brightness, and are enhanced by a history we can only guess at. Food and drink rots away - even if it is consumed and remembered, but the vessels live on. Look at this beauty - as alive today as it was in 1740. I am ill, but I can think of worse illnesses - so long as keep it under control. Golf is the same, by all accounts, but you do not have trophies like this for every friendly game.<br /><br />How's your 'Quiss', J?
