Two years ago I took these photos of glass objects at an exhibition in Borås Textile Museum. They were displayed in big glass cabinets (with light coming from all sides), so it’s glass seen through glass.
(If anyone is wondering “why glass at a textile museum”, the exhibit was about Swedish design in the 1960s and 70s, also including furniture and textiles.)
Last summer I got to see the same exhibition again, but in another museum (also an old textile factory) in a smaller village in the district around here.
There the glass objects were displayed differently:
Personally I liked the ‘open’ display better. But it’s interesting how you can create different impressions using the same objects in different settings.
On the same outing last summer, I took these two photos at the café where we had a late lunch.
Friday My Town Shoot Out: ‘Through Glass’
clear glass is my favorite but real close in second place is any green glass, this is really beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love all the colored glass - you actually got photos without glares.
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely. I have several pieces of green glass, but it is not this dense and rich looking.
ReplyDeleteso lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful. I'm so jealous. My photos suck.
ReplyDeleteGlass is so magical. Those intense colors! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love this, we have a museum here in NJ where they still have a glass blowing factory. They do a festival in the grounds each year and I love getting lost in the glass museum :)
ReplyDeleteE. This would be a fun thing to do. I love to watch glass blowing.

DeleteHard to believe some of these are behind glass, there's not even a hint of glare. I love the rich, vibrant colours of the collection in the museum. A wonderful selection as usual!
ReplyDeleteI love those colorful bottle/glass, they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty set of glass seen through glass.
ReplyDeleteI love old glass: enjoyed all the photos. If I'd not gotten stuck on Alice I could have pulled photos of depression glass from the archives. went back a ways and caught up on your posts, always enjoy your photos.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors and shapes of glass. fantastic choices for the theme.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the shots of the glass. I love it. I only collect the cobalt blue these days. Had gotten too many.
