I've tried First Scene, but they don't have sugar glass/fake glass bottles. Does anyone know of a place in Akld that can make them?

I need two bottles that to break over an actor's head.

Akld 2010 Meat Pie "Bruised" (Director, Producer)
Akld 2009 Rising Phoenix "Till The Day We Die" (Zombie)

Wgn 2005 Team Awesome "Cock Fever" (Camera, Actor)
Wgn 2004 The Insomniacs "Terry's Package" (Actor, Driver)
