The museum demanded that all replicas be destroyed. Because else they could be influencing the vintage glass market...........

So there they were, the artists and his students, smashing the beautiful glasses. I guess they were quite sad about this situation.

It is really so fucked up. It is stupid capitalist crap.

But while searching, i came across another glass artist in Amsterdam, Marc Barreda.

12 yrs ago we were both in a large group exhibition, that's where we met.

He is a professional glassblower as well, and can make all kinds of glass objects. So he did this project with a historian, about 'schertsglazen', fun glasses from a few centuries ago.
So he made, together with his students, replicas of the old glasses. Really cool!
