"Slag Art"
I hadn't heard of 'Slag Art' but I guess I'm a collector now. It's pretty cool.

Studio Cased-Glass Bottle Signed & Copyrighted; 1979?
It is ~5 3/16" high an' weighs 303 grams. Pic 3 shows the clear case shoulders, but inherent lensing carries the dark color of the interior portion out into them. That inner part appears black, or... -
What am I?
I thought this was a modern piece, not sure, grabbed it for $4. I can't figure out if the orange beads actually are coral or a very good glass imitation. Looks like Chinese turquoise, imo. What... -
