<p>[QUOTE="User 67, post: 7008, member: 67"]I was just thinking, a glass test tube rack might be a very bad idea. First you have the glass sticking to glass phenomenon -which anyone who has washed enough dishes is likely to run into, and the expansion/contraction of glass in fridge or w/ heated contents; ; and the likelihood of glass breaking glass. If this is a test tube holder it might be a first and last.</p><p><br /></p><p>Small bud vases (yes, you cut the stem down to 3"), placecard holders, centerpiece frogs, ect. were all the rage in the 1920s and 1930s when the middle class could finally afford some of the luxuries, like an extravagantly complete set of china (even if it was free depression glass you got at the movie house), that had only been enjoyed by the wealthy a few decades before. As a place setting, or with one or two of these at the ends of a table the flower arrangements wouldn't be to tall for conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
