I must admit I have a glass fetish. I Love the sleek designs, movement & even the way the color bounces around glass. It really doesn't matter if it's jewelry, a vase or a sculpture...modern glass just fascinates me. So for my own amusement (& hopefully yours) I have pulled in some of my favorite pieces and styles of glass decor.

Bollinas Hand Blown Glass Sculpture Translucent



Philadelphia artist Bernard Katz s hand-blown works of art are always of the finest quality as well as highly sought after and collected by glass aficionados throughout the world. The vessels in his Root Series are blown in a brilliant transparent color encased by layers of clear crystal. Once a darker layer is applied it is slowly etched away to reveal the underlying image. Using fine-grain sand at high levels of pressure it is ultimately a risky and tedious process although one that rewards its creator with a brilliantly unique piece of art.

Red Hurricane Bowl 


Red Hurricane Bowl



Red Hurricane Bowl 4.5in x 15in Reticello is the Italian name for a specific pattern in the technique of cane working. Cane or as the Italians call it are glass rods about the thickness of pencil leads. They can be clear or colored the cane can also be bundled or overlaid. Throughout the years glass blowers have created elaborate results by working color glass rods into a variety of patterns. Just as there are different names for different shapes of pasta every pattern in cane has its own name. in Reticello color rods are picked up twisted in one direction and blown into the forms of a cup. The Cup is tapped off the blowpipe and set into a preheated oven. The a second cup is made in the same fashion. However for the second cup the rods are twisted in the direction opposite of the first cup. Kenny drops and blows that cup inside the first cup. If the cups are worked cold enough the grooves between each rod of cane are retained. These grooves cause small air pockets to be trapped when the two cups come together. This is what creates bubbles to appear in a regular pattern between the crisscrossing lines of cane. The form is then blown and shaped into a beautiful Reticello vessel.

La Cura 

Maestro Afro Celotto

Afro Celotto started working with glass when he was only 14 years old. For 12 years Afro worked as an apprentice and then first assistant to the legendary Lino Tagliapietra at Effetre International. Afro then took the position of "First Master" at La Murrina. He returned later to Effetre International after being asked to replace Lino Tagliapietra as master. Now, Afro, with his two talented friends, Luca Vidal and Carlo Tagliapietra, have opened his own studio on Murano. For many years previously Afro worked within the old tradition where great glass masters executed the designs of others. He is now free to devote his attention and focus to his own artistic expression and unique works.

The graphic sign under each piece is the actual signature of the artist, Maestro Afro Celotto. He uses a special diamond point to handwrite it under every piece that is made by him. This is your guarantee of the authenticity and the uniqueness of each art glass piece. This last year has been an immensely creative period for him and Fusion Art Glass is very excited to add him to our collection.
