History of the horse

Domestication of the horse brought the peoples an extraordinary advantage. Long distances were covered in much less time, which made maintaining great empires easier.

Horses served as oracles for the Teutons, in Tacitus' Germania the following is noted about horses among the Teutons:

“And the widespread custom of questioning the voice and flight of birds is also known here; on the other hand, it is a Germanic peculiarity to pay attention to signs and indications from horses. At the expense of the general public, molds are kept in the groves and clearings mentioned, which have not been profaned by any service for mortals. They are harnessed to the sacred chariot; the priest and the king or the head of the tribe walk beside them and watch their neighing and snorting. And one no longer believes any sign, not just with the people: also with the noble, with the priests; They consider themselves only servants of the gods, whereas the horses are their confidants."

Glass Miniatures

In general the term is restricted to relatively modern pieces made by people who see themselves as artists who have chosen to work in the medium of glass and both design and make their own pieces as fine art, rather than traditional glassworker craftsmen. Studio glass is another term often used for modern glass made for artistic purposes. Art glass has grown in popularity in recent years with many artists becoming famous for their work.

Some art glass retains its original purpose but has come to be appreciated more for its art than for its use. Collectors of antique perfume bottles, for example, tend to display their items empty. As items of packaging, these bottles would originally have been used and thus would not ordinarily have been considered art glass. However, because of fashion trends, then as now, producers supplied goods in beautiful packaging.

Glassblowing is one of the most used technique for creating "art glass" and is still favoured by most of today's studio glass artists. This is because of the artist's intimacy with the material, and an almost infinite opportunity for creativity and variation at almost every stage of the process. Glassblowing can be used to create a multitude of shapes and can incorporate color through a wide range of techniques.
