Size:  5" x 4"

Material:  Hand-blown Glass

This stunning piece of art glass is of the finest quality. Sophisticated in design, vivid in color, shapely in form, receptive to light, exquisite to the touch, yet still crafted with purpose, it is an item of beauty that is also made to be used.  

Some of our nation’s greatest museums and institutions own art glass by the same small family-owned glass studio that created this gem. Those in possession of their work include the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Corning Museum, the Chrysler Museum of Art, even the White House art holdings.  

To arrive at such exciting results, the studio's skilled glassblowers use freehand blowing techniques. They combine tools from centuries ago with modern technology to produce superior results.

Pulled from a 2600° Fahrenheit furnace onto long stainless steel pipes, the liquid glass is blown, twirled, and shaped, as hot glass is applied to hot glass. In this way, fine sand from the American Southwest is transformed into handmade glass, using unique formulas of minerals and precious metals. Designs are garnet-etched into the surface of the glass, never painted on.

Each unique piece is then signed, dated and registered for authenticity.
