It's very difficult to take pictures of glass in museums, and there was surprisingly little glass at the Bowes Museum - lots of porcelain and silver. This is Bohemian engraved layed glass of the early 19th century. Quite an unusual colour. However, we had a good go at the junk shops in Barnard Castle (of which there were lots) and saw various tempting rummers. I resisted, though. I honestly don't need any more wineglasses. Is this a sign of growing up?
