Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the second one for me after the first was broken. It's very attractive and the birds love it. There have been some reports here that this is not blown glass. I have been in communication with the seller and the manufacturer and I have found out that this IS handblown glass which is made with a multipart mold into which the glass is blown. What appear to be seams on the glass are mold marks. The molten glass on the blow pipe is inserted into the mold and then blown to form the spherical shape. Because it is a sphere it requires a two part mold which can be separated to release the blown glass. I have no relationship to either the seller or the manufacturer. I don't want people to reject this product based on misinformation in some of the comments. It's a very nice product.
