Nice to look at but no good for silk. Even the best hitch tends to 
slip on glass in my experience

RE: [lace] Glass Bobbins on ebay - Diane Miller?

Hello Jean,

It's just the box that has a Brian and Diane Miller 'label' in it. 

Diane painted bone bobbins and miniature paintings but Brian made a variety
of items, pen holders, paperweights etc where he encapsulated leaves,
flowers, even dandelion clocks in some sort of clear acrylic.  They were
sold in good quality presentation boxes and the Millers took great care
about displaying the item. These glass bobbins are just in the box for safe
keeping, I should think.

I've got a couple of their boxes but what's in them now was made by me.
