One of my favorite things to do with glass bowls is to fill them with dirt and add succulents. They make great gifts! If you have bowls or vases with a smooth surface try wrapping them with jute rope or thick yarn secured with hot glue. Leave about an inch at the top to show off the contrast between the string and the bowl! -

I collect decanters and I also wonder about lead content. But I keep them really just for a visual treat. I doubt any harm would come to you by an occasional food use of these bowls. And etched and cut glass is so beautiful! -

·Perhaps a candy dish stand.Hot glue/E6000 a suitable glass/drinking glass to bottom of dish.You May glass spray paint it, decorate with jewels, ribbons (maybe put decor on rim off glass that's attach to bottom of bowl)...You can use painters tape to cover parts you don't want painted·You may center piece it with decorative (holidays, occassions, just because) flowers around bottom (optional). You may use foam to hold flowers together and/or give dish height.- See 1 previous
