Our Handcraft Process

Design


Our stable of accomplished designers, consistently conceive of forms and designs which stay true to the tradition of hand blown glass. Over the years, our talented designers have developed hundreds of classically contemporary designs that range from whimsical to exquisite. Each piece we offer is an artistic creation, designed by the best and individually created by skillful craftsmen.

Glass Blowing


Each distinctive piece is skillfully created by our master glassblowers who transform glass into a molten viscous liquid, by working this magical material over an intense, 2600 degree flame. The distinctive qualities of hand-blown glass cannot be compared to that of machine-formed glass.

Inspection


Thorough inspection ensures perfection from our door to yours. As each stage of production is completed, all pieces are scrutinized to maintain quality. Our rigorous inspection and stringent standards allow us to assure exceptional quality.

Etching


Glass etching has been used for centuries as a decorative embellishment to glass. The fine art of etch-engraving leaves an impression by means of gentle surface abrasion. Long considered an important technique, used to define and reveal fine detail on glass, beautifully etched designs give our pieces a classically attractive appearance with just a kiss of frost.

22k Gold Gilding


Flowing 22K gold luster is applied by hand with precise brush strokes, then permanently affixed when kiln-fired. The result is a brilliant luminescence, unsurpassed in the industry.

Airbrushing


Distinctive color and blending effects can only be obtained by applying paints or lacquer with an Airbrush, an implement slightly larger than a fountain pen. The "sophisticated spray gun" is used by the world's most respected artists to create a smooth even toned finish that is ideal to create illusion, especially on transparent objects such as glass. Each piece is individually airbrushed with meticulous attention, revealing a permanent, glistening finish.

Crystal Kisses


Many of our pieces are 'kissed' with luxurious crystal accents, adding further twinkle and shimmer as the light hits each facet. Set by hand, each sparkling crystal is an opulent enhancment to our unique creations.

Packaging


Our appealing packaging is a bonus that once again, sets us apart. Most of our collectables are sold, individually in eye-catching, protective boxes. Additionally, themed collections often include brocade covered jewel boxes, with a featured figurine tucked inside for safe keeping.
