Haha, the glass is pretty thick and feels really nice, so even if it was made in china I have no complaints. It was $50 and worth every penny.
All the headshops around me are pretty expensive, and I couldn't order anything line at the time. I'm getting this pretty soon though: Black Leaf - Sunny Afternoon Inline Perc Glass Bubbler - Without Carb Hole - Glass Bongs - Bongs and Waterpipes - Smoking Pipes - Grasscity.com
yeah headshops around me like to overcharge for china glass too idk why because their local glass is generally a pretty good deal lol Black Leaf is also china glass so be careful, although I find their pieces better than a lot of other china stuff - its still china glass I suggest saving up for a nice American/German/other glass piece. they are much more expensive but you get what you pay for.
