Displaying Flint Glass Collections

Video Transcript

"Displaying your flint glass, I would say for myself when I display my flint glass, I use the compotes on my tables, on my side tables, on my counters. I display them in my cupboards. I fill them. Alot of them are full all the time. But you can also display in a shelf unit and I wouldn't be afraid to display in the window with the glass. Glass does not change color because of the sunlight coming through it. The glass changes color because of the combinations that were in the processing and once it's been made you're going to have a purple hue, it's because of the way the glass was made, it has nothing to do with the sun coming in the window. So don't worry about putting your glass in the window, that's a great way to display glass. I like them in the cupboards and I like to use them so they go into my everyday cupboard. It's perfectly up to you. Some people like to put their collection together in a mass and some people like to spread them out. I like to do both. Have some in the cupboard so you can see the collection together and then some that I use on the tables everyday. It's really a subjective thing. It's up to you whether you want to use yours or just display it. I think a combination of both is really good."
