The National Glass Centre in Sunderland. The “Home of Pyrex”.
I’ve used photos from the exhibition and from the demonstration at the National Glass Centre quite a few times for photo challenges – I thought I add a bit of information this time. The glass blowing demonstration is a truly wonderful and informative presentation. Unfortunately, just a few weeks ago I heard that one of the presenters, the talented man on the right, has passed away. So I want to add this photo as a tribute to his talent and skill.

I’ve still got a Pyrex dish like the white one on the left with blue flowers. It’s hardly a cutting edge design, but I can’t get rid of it – it’s too useful.

🙂 I have a pure glass one. And dito. Later I bought a couple of their vision range but now that I have a induction stove it is no longer in use. I never knew that they all came from Sunderland.
