Exclamation Do anybody know....

Does anybody know where one can find and purchase small glass terrariums (if that is what this is called) like the one pictured here? I had also seen globe shaped ones also.
This photo was taken at the 27th International/GNYOS Show in NYC at Rockefeller Center this year.

Check out my site below for more orchid pictures from the show!

Thanks!

I asked the same question in another thread. I wish I knew the answer. I like these glass drops a lot too.

Do you think it would be easy enough to maintain? the opening looks kind of small....wonder if it's big enough for a 'male' size hand to get thru?
