Pros
Gorgeous, practical and useful in a number of projects
Cons
The antenna included did not solder well. I easily substituted pre-tinned copper wire.
Other Thoughts
I had planned to use the bevels in a panel, then I had an unexpected desire to use them for a light source for use next to an urn of my dear cousin’s special son that she had told me she had called “butterfly Ben”. While planning the candle holder, I found a wonderful pattern in a GST publication for a butterfly panel lampshade using this cluster. It was perfect. And delicately beautiful.
Pros
Getting scrap packs makes it easy to try using this expensive glass.

Pros
Sturdy, handy, project saver. Saves so much time going back and forth to the glass stacks or laying the glass down in a dangerous pile.
Cons
The wire prongs can come loose so I keep a glue stick with me during assembly and dip each end into the stick before attaching the tip and into the base.
Other Thoughts
The above technique is easy, cheap and reliable. I think I have 10 of these in my workshop because plan out several projects at a time. This gives me a quick way to identify which glass goes with each project.
Pros
Wonderful active design, the two toned glass adds great depth. I love all of the GST clusters I have purchased. The pattern is simple and very artistic.
Cons
None. I appreciate the pictures of completed bevel panels that demonstrate the use of art glass that add to the cluster’s beauty.

Pros
Easy to use, the patina blends well with the patina colors and technique I used on my Tiffany reproduction shade. Is heavy and sturdy. I use it with my 16” and alternate with an 18” shade for variety.
Cons
The only con I can think of is alas it is not an actual $2000 Tiffany reproduction base (sigh). But this base completely suits my needs.
Other Thoughts
The light mechanism is sturdy and dependable.
