Blown-glass medical models

If you loved me, you'd buy me this all-glass complete brain artery model from Farlow Scientific Glassblowing. It's $4,000. At least I didn't ask for the full-body complete artery model!

That’s an amazing piece, it blows my mind to see the works created with glass knowing how difficult it is to work with compared to many other physical mediums.

“Let’s get some digits,” I said to the Blown-Glass Medical model.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t give it out without a firm offer.”

“Oh I’ll make you a firm offer.”
