Default Glass Display Domes Where To Find?

Hi All, I'm looking for recommendations of Online or Offline sites/business that carry glass or flexiglass display cases (dome type with base).
I have three kachina dolls I'm making for Christmas presents for my daughter and granddaughter's. I like to place them under a glass or flexiglass dome for protection and displaying.
Has anyone bought these before and if so where did you find one? I checked with Michael's and they carry glass ones for large dolls.
The size I'm looking for would be 10" Tall (3) and (2) 4" & (1) 8" inches round.
Any thoughts? I'd rather order from a place other's have had good experience. So if you have one please let me know.
Thanks for your help,
Kathy

Kathy,
We buy all our display stands for our store at:
http://www.bards.com/
You will need to set up an Account with them but they will sell Wholesale to you at small minimum Qntys. We are getting ready to put an order in soon. Look at the wire Hangers to hold up some of your Ornaments they are only about a dollar for the small and less than two for larger ones. Good Company to deal with.
Goody

You might try littleshavers.com
I know Rick stocks domes and such but do not know about sizes. He might be able to get something too. His service is un-matched!
