Blown Glass Vases

Glass-blowing finds its origins in the last half of the century before Christ. That's two thousand years of craft to grace your table or a corner of your desk.

Blown Glass Vases in the Czech tradition

Czech craftsmen have been working glass for at least six hundred years, and yet the major swing from utility to graceful new designs occured mainly in the 20th century.

In fact, it could be accurately said that the Czechs lead the world in glass design since the fall of the Iron Curtain. We can't wait for your reaction to what we offer.

All bubbles are not gum or financial

How on earth do they blow a bubble inside a bubble inside the stem of a fine crystal vase? We have seen it and still find the art to be more than half alchemy. (It's no coincidence that alchemy is a Czech tradition as well--all alchemy was not turning base metals into gold)

An earlier incarnation

Unwrapping a fine flower vase and intrigued by its clarity and the colors running through it from the light outside, it's hard to believe it was an orange-molton mass at the end of a blowpipe. But it was.

Be careful not to damage it in the eagerness to unwrap.
