This is the first weekly round-up of some really nice photography from various antique bottle and glass web sites that have surfaced in the previous week. It seems that winter sunlight and new snow has influenced many of still life pictures that appear below.
Make sure you visit the Fresh Peach Gallery which represents the best of the best pictures from 2012.
