Looks like a weld. He couldn't be drilling these, as some have six items, and the center vase is very narrow. I make my own stamens, and wonder what Mike is using for his. I would love to own a "Mike Urban" as well. Where is he getting all his pieces, since several have multiple blooms? There must not be a vintage glass item in the entire Hood Canal area! Especially Vashon Island! LolDonnaHennignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-36096254189577768502014-03-10T06:21:00.831-07:002014-03-10T06:21:00.831-07:00I love his work!
