Keeping It Spicy- A Little Trinket CLOSED

By Holly ⋅ August 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅

kis Every now and then we ladies want a little trinket. Something completely out of the ordinary that shows us that our significant other thought of us. It can be something small like stopping to buy a single flower on the way home or something big would be nice to. A new appliance we’ve been drooling over or a spa day with no kids?

Recently I discovered Gala Glass. They have glass jewelry and glass figurines. My favorite was the glass lamps. Are they not beautiful? So delicate and the features are amazing. Look at the close up picture of the humming birds. You can clearly make out every part of them including their little eyes.

All of the pieces are hand crafted by Angelo Tiozzo and his associates. They use a variety of traditional and innovative glass shaping techniques to create beautiful, elegant and timeless heirloom pieces. To ensure a wide offering of artistic crystal glass creations, Angelo also selects the best from the work of other world-class craftsmen to enrich the Gala Glass legacy.

I was blessed to receive a humming bird lamp and a bottle of yellow paraffin lamp oil. The lamp is so delicate and oh so gorgeous. The blue in the humming birds wings is so rich and vibrant. My only dislike was it was a little difficult to actually get the wax into the lamp. I was able to pour it in with little difficulty with a dixie cup.

**UPDATE** I was contacted by Mario from Gala Glass about my dislike mentioned above. The hole is in fact rather small and he agrees with that. However it was brought to my attention that it seems there was a small error in shipping my lamp. With each lamp Gala Glass also includes a small funnel specifically tailored for their lamps and to fill the lamp.***
