Our publisher and photographer Dana Nollsch and I spent a few minutes talking to Jim Asselstine today at his convention in the Peppermill Naples Ballroom. Jim is president of the American Brilliant Cut Glass Association and an expert on the subject to put it modestly. We interviewed him in the dealers’ room brimming to overflowing with the most beautiful, dazzling cut-glass imaginable. To walk into that room is to be instantaneously overwhelmed by impressions. One cannot help but have that happen.
