Swirled, speckled, or blown into unique sculptural shapes, glass pieces like these can be an affordable way to integrate fine art into your everyday decor. Display the pieces—even functional items like glasses, plates, or a carafe—on an open shelf or buffet when not in use; the light will show off their jewel-tone hues, textures, and translucence while casting shadows as dynamic as the objects themselves. ■
