Possible opportunity for someone

To make a long story short, I was at an event today and got talking to another vender about glass art. Well he asked if I could make onion bottles. That people ask for them all the time and he would like to find someone to buy handmade onion bottles from for their shop. I googled onion bottles and they are not something I am able to make at this time. For many reasons. I mentioned that I 'know' many other glass artists and might be able to find someone who can make them. Here are 2 links to onion bottles.

If you can or know someone that can make them and would be interested in wholesaling them to a PA Historical and Museum Associate http://ushistory.org/brandywine/ PM me and I'll pass along the info to get in touch with them. You do not have to be a PA artist. He just wants them to be handmade.

seems to me that those would be best made using a furnace....

Put him touch with Hale Farm living museum in NE Ohio. The have a glass shop and make period pieces there. I don't know if they wholesale, they mostly sell out of their own museum....

My husband got his glass/smithing start there as a teenager. I'm sure he's made many of these back in the day.
