A unique new form of glassware from Israel is illustrated by
these examples of Batsheva Glass, a collection of glass pieces in-
dividually blown at extremely low temperatures to produce decora-
tive surface bubbles, extremely rare in modern production. This
popular new Israeli crafts form has been developed by Batsheva
Crafts Corporation of Tel Aviv. Founded by Mrs. Batsheva de

cated giftware, the firm has sponsored the work of more than 200
Israeli craftsmen. In addition to sales in its shop to thousands of
tourists from all parts of the world Batsheva products are shipped
to buyers throughout- the United States for their homes and insti-
tutions. A new catalogue of newly-designed Israeli decorative crafts

Jerusalem Coin Sets
Canadian—or Jewish?
1967 specimen sets containing the
first Israel coins to be struck in
Jerusalem in more than 1,800 years
will be available in this area ex-
clusively at all 90 branches of Na-
tional Bank of Detroit Feb. 15.
The packaged sets include one
each of the 1 agora, 5, 10 and 25
agorot, 1/2 lira and 1 lira coins.
Each coin is in bright, uncirculated
condition and has been specially
selected for collectors.
While the face value of the coins
is 66 cents in U.S. currency, simi-
lar sets issued in 1966 and 1965 by
the now closed Tel Aviv Mint have
already become prized possessions
in tens of thousands of coin col
lections.
Of the total issue of 155,000 sets,
50,000 have already been ordered
in the United States through the
mails. The Feb. 15 over-the-counter
offer will be the last opportunity
to obtain these sets at the govern-
ment issue price.
