• From profile on ebay, "On my Moms side her Dad was a Glass Blower. His name is Alvin Becraft. He owned his own glass factory right out of his garage "Becraft Glass" in Fort Smith, Arkansas . Although he died at the early age of 63 from throat cancer his glassware still lives on. He invented and created things like the Swan vase that has been duplicated many times and the little glass Chickens for your kitchen window and much more. "
