Although this image would likely be scoffed at by members of the art community, as well as by the average person, there is nevertheless an undeniable craft to the creation of such an object that is not often recognized.
    Glassblowing is a glass forming technique which was invented by the Phoenicians at approximately 50 BC somewhere along the Syro-Palestinian coast. The earliest evidence of glassblowing comes from a collection of waste from a glass workshop, including fragments of glass tubes, glass rods and tiny blown bottles, which was dumped in a mikvah, a ritual bath in the Jewish Quarter of Old City of Jerusalem dated from 37 to 4 BC.
    In the world of fine arts, this would be regarded as nothing more than a craft or hobby. But why is that, when a painter who masters the technique of oil painting is easily regarded as an artist? It is the same question I might ask of the talented potter, whose ceramics are overlooked when compared to a ceramic sculpture.
    The art critic may have opinions of his/her own, but my own opinion is that every creator deserves some appreciation, despite his/her medium or subject matter.
