Must get a paperweight to keep my email and pdfs from flying away.
ОтветитьUnder my tutelage it only took my wife a month to become a good blower.
ОтветитьChai Syria, that's where I'm from lol 😆
ОтветитьI've worked with a couple of paperweights. They were paid a lot more than that.
ОтветитьTereible looking things.
Ответить60 workers can make 1000 pieces in a single day? Bullshit
Ответить'An expensive paper weight' is normally a euphemism for a useless waste of money. In this case it is also that. The irony
ОтветитьJust say glass
ОтветитьI see nothing that couldn't be done by Chines laborer.
ОтветитьAlways been fascinated and would have loved to learn to blow glass and other glass work.
ОтветитьWhy would I Pay 5000 for a paperweight when I can just use my left hand?!?!
ОтветитьImagine if instead of buying a paper weight someone gave a poor family 13k. Wealth is literally destroying humanity.
ОтветитьI'll stay with ikea glass ware thank you ... art yes, but ... just stupid to buy.
ОтветитьBreathing glass dust made with led. Sounds like a very safe place to work your entire life without any protection equipment.
Ответитьgo outside, grab a nearby rock, there is your paperweight.
ОтветитьA rock does the same job for $13,000 less.
ОтветитьLead. Foolishness.
Ответитьdo you need it? no
do you want it? absolutely not...
these things are still in business due to just one human nature, sense of superiority and exclusiveness... otherwise no one needs extremely expensive good for nothing artisan items..
Beautiful
ОтветитьGarbage. Future bongs wasted on trinkets.
Ответитьfind something you love as much as Insider Business loves Capitalism
ОтветитьOnly a few people know how because no one in their correct mindset would think another “person” would pay that much for a paperweight! Leave it to the French though!
ОтветитьI didn't find a single one of the pieces good looking to be honest 🙄
Ответитьwhy not just buy a full auto rifle? its the same price, works as a paper weight just as good, and has added utility.
ОтветитьTHIS is a good example of why rich people aren't all that well liked. The glass they produce is amazing, but holy shit, those prices!
ОтветитьAlien 1 - "What was the downfall of human civilization again?"
Alien 2 - "$13,000.00 paperweights..."
Alien 1 - "Oh, that's right..."
I HAVE A PAPER WEIGHT LIKE THAT WITH A FLOWER IN IT ITS GIVING ME SO MANY HOURS OF PICS WITH LIGHTS I LIKE TO TAKE ITS SO AWESOME
ОтветитьRich people would spend their money on anything but taxes
Ответитьwell, they are still pieces available only to elites. couldn´t they bring their prices to more masses? while I respect the artistry and quality control, machinery and materials surely are not an argument to those astonishing prices they ask. After all, is safer to have them as decorative items instead of sipping a poisoned v.s.o.p. from them.
ОтветитьMy paper weights are considerably older than any other out there! They are washed - by the river - stones! 😁
ОтветитьWhose office is subject to torrential winds that they even need a paper weight
Ответитьall the lead in their wine probably why all the royalties are crazy idiots.
Ответить7;05 Crystal "was invented in England in the 17th century"
7;18 "glassmakers here (at Saint-Louis)accidentally created crystal"
Who knew history could change so much in 13 seconds?
Are these fair trade paperweights? /s
ОтветитьId hope no one still drinks out of crystal glasses, lead leeches into stuff so quickly, wine leeches lead almost instantly.
ОтветитьMy dad could do this in his backyard using his furnace no prob.
ОтветитьPerfection
ОтветитьCertainly works of art! Do people still buy things like this anymore?
ОтветитьThis was so interesting. I'm so glad Hermes was able to buy and help this beautiful company and tradition stay in its roots.
ОтветитьI used to go to a little town called Rattenberg in the West of Austria, famous for its glass blowing and -cutting, every summer. It was quite magnificent to walk into the shops, see these beautiful, handmade pieces and, if you were lucky, you got to see someone making one right there in the middle of the shop. It's incredible to see how fast and precisely they can make these pieces of art.
ОтветитьI would gladly work with their scraps of glass!!! Easy. Send it to me, and I will use them in my simple glass work. What a gift!!!
ОтветитьAnd this explains why there are still hungry people in this world.
ОтветитьI'll take wealth inequality for $200, Alex. It's the daily double.
Ответить"One hundred years ago, only nobility and the wealthy could afford to buy Saint-Louis pieces. Today, they're sold arounf the world to hotels, cultural institutions, restaurants, and private collectors."
...The wealthy, then?
Cool
Ответитьthey need young clients, make bongs! lmao
