We are an American company, based in San Francisco, California. We design ornamental glass to capture the shapes, colors and lights of nature’s marvels. Each of the collectable treasures we offer is handmade, one by one, in the ancient traditions of glassmaking. Our quantities are limited, as is the number of master craftspeople still devoted to this art form. Over the years we have selected the finest artists in China to help us produce our creations into the beautiful objects we are proud to present to you. Our products represent the other side of the “made in China”. This is no industrial outpour, but the work of industrious artisans. The humble hands which breathe life into our designs are rich of a talent scarcely found any longer; their dexterity evokes a time when imagination was not sacrificed on mechanized production lines but instead ignited the craftsman’s artistic ingenuity. No cast or mold is made to churn out copies. Each piece requires the same laborious process and each is an original. The purity you may admire in our glass sculptures is that of our artists’ work, daring the heat of the flame as they juggle tools over an open furnace, without losing sight of the craft in the making. They balance liquid glass on the tip of a long pipe, in a game of swift and gentle turns where only gravity helps them shape the fire-like glowing glass into the desired form.
