From glass graduates with individual studios in Ireland, England, France and elsewhere in Europe, comes work from limited edition or small scale production ranges. Here, a signed bowl, scent bottle or vase cost from €95 to €350.

Good value at present are large centre piece bowls from studios in Lithuania.

For the serious collector, museum quality, one-off pieces could include a 'Contour' vase by Bob Crooks, a 'Wave' sculpture by Graham Muir or a 'Paradiso' dropper by Peter Layton.
