Plastic hummingbird feeders, while cost-effective, do leave something to be desired in the aesthetics department. Parasol seems to have realized this, and their beautiful blown glass feeders transcend the standard "plastic flowers" typically used to feed hummers. Carefully handblown using at least 50% recycled glass, each of the Dew Drop feeders is as much a work of art as it is a feeding place for your feathered friends. This model is a majestic blue with cloudlike glass accents and comes with an artfully curved hanging hook.

Beautifully crafted, no-drip guarantee my butt!:
Parasol uses this dual-stopper feeding gondola (the bottom brass piece) and it guarantees not to drip, yeah right. Mine drips no matter how hard I push the gondola into the glass globe. However, it doesn't drip continuously until the thing empties out. It only drips minimally & sporadically - mostly due to afternoon heat (i.e. expansion within the globe), so the dripping isn't too bad (in my case) but it DOES drip.
Save your money unless you just want a decoration.:
I don't usually write reviews; but this product is so bad I felt I had too. My hummingbirds do not like this feeder at all. And as stated in the previous review it feeds ants better. Don't put in a garden as the feed leaks out and kills your plants!!! Very very very bad product.
Pretty to look at, but serves more ants than bird:
I got an identical looking feeder locally; trapped air cannot escape so air bubbles stay trapped in the feeding tube. The solution, therefore, won't drain for hummingbirds easily, but you can shake some out (providing food for local ants).
It does make an attractive addition to the porch, however.
Pretty but impractical:
I purchased a beautiful glass hummingbird feeder thinking it would replace the ugly plastic red ones that you see everywhere. It is very pretty, but it does gradually leak the solution over a short period of time. I would not recommend purchase of this feeder unless you just want a decorative piece in your garden that you fill infrequently.
