I'm not sure if these glass cacti have been shown on here before, but they impressed me!
They're part of a collection commissioned by Harvard University from a German father and son (Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka) around the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Someone posted them on Facebook, so I looked them up

Re: Glass Cacti at Harvard
I have seen other examples of the Blaschka"s work. Other flowers. Spectacular. Such intricate and correct detail.
