Angelo Ambrosia

These spectacular blown glass vessels exhibit classic forms, exacting techniques and stunning colors that will add drama and excitement to our customers' homes. Ambrosia is a life-long artist who learned from his father that art should reflect emotion, creativity and craftsmanship. These wonderful striped vessels range from 6" wide by 20" tall to 8" x 26" with accent stripes in red, green and gold.

  These beautiful blown glass certainly fulfill his father's standards.

Melanie & David Leppla
These wonderful glass cairns remind us of the many balancing rocks in the Sonoran Desert. Cairns are man-made piles of rocks that serve to mark trails in treeless areas or indicate a mountain summit. The glass cairns are 10" to 12" tall and glow with back-lighting. These glass cairns have been so popular this season that our selection changes daily as some go out the door and others are being delivered. Please call or email us for the colors and sizes available and we can email photos, dimensions and prices or put you on a waiting list.   

Steve Immerman
This fused glass is absolutely amazing - exacting, intricate, bold and colorful. Immerman has pioneered new techniques for creating pieces of strip-cut glass and aperature pours that set new standards of art glass. We have recently seen the work of three other artists who are now using these techniques but none have this level of craftsmanship or design. The work demands extreme precision yet he does it for relaxation from his full-time surgeon job. As people browse through Pinnacle Gallery these pieces are always a jaw-dropper.

Victor Chiarizia

Renowned for vibrant colors and innovative designs, this work reflects an exploration of sculptural forms and the use of ancient Venetian and modern glassblowing techniques. Fluid forms combined with spirited colors are this artist's unique artistic signature.

These tall "Alto" vases are colorful dramatic pieces with attractive prices. About 35 - 40 inches tall with a base of only 4 - 4.5 inches in diameter, these Alto vases are spectacular as a singular statement or as a set of three or more. Call for available colors. 

Customers often ask, "Can you ship these?"
Of course, we pack them securely and can ship these anywhere.

Bob Kliszewski

These colorful handblown pieces are a little bit whimsy, a little bit Dr. Seuss and a lot of color! They are botanical designs made by Bob, hence called "BOBtanicals". 

Each is about 5 to 8 inches in diameter and from 8 to 15 inches tall with a striped stopper. BOBtanicals add a splash of color to any decor and a touch of whimsey. 

 Plus, we occasionally get one or two "Big Bobs" - giant pieces of the same designs - call us and we will call you when one arrives.

Scott Amrhein

These distinctive "Lumen" bowls add drama to tables, shelves and niches as they take on the surrounding colors.  Each Lumen bowl has its own unique metallic organic pattern created as the metallic finish resists gravity when the hot glass slumps in the kiln. The absence of primary colors and the simplicity of design are the trademarks of the pieces. Amrhein utilizes his background in metal casting for the rim treatment of oxidized copper and has designed bases made from wood and copper. An alternate base is made of cast concrete for a more contemporary look. 

And, similar techniques and designs with colored and patterned glass yield pectacular results!

Bandhu Dunham

A true master of his art, Dunham literally "wrote the book". His books on the techniques of flameworking glass are the foundation for many glass artists' careers. His incredible pieces demonstrate the advanced techniques that he has perfected that have earned him international fame in flameworked glass.

 Plus, he makes the coolest menorahs! 

Rafael Gevorkian

HE'S BACK! 

These wonderful thick-glass pieces have been very popular for years but the housing slump forced this talented glass artist to close his studio in late 2011. He traveled South America for most of 2012 and now he's back creating wonderful glass pieces! Hooray!

His work is made of inch-thick glass that he carves, stains and paints to create beautiful bowls, wall panels, sculptures.

These are glass panels that mount on a wall. Click to enlarge and see details. The three 24-inch wide panels on the right have been sold but we can have a set made for you in colors that complement your decor. 

Newy Fagan 

These delightful glass horses are very popular gifts and colorful home accent pieces. We try to keep a good selection of colors on hand but they keep trotting out the door. Ponies are 7" tall at the ears and horses are 8" tall. Each adds a cheerful splash of color to any decor and several horses and ponies make a wonderful grouping - they are herding animals, after all.

Cheryl McNeill

These carved glass table tops are made with vibrant colors, muted shades, metallic hues, depth and textures showcased on handmade steel bases. Though the designs are unique, the heights of her tables are to common standards so you will find these tables practical as well as beautiful . . . and reasonably priced. 

Leon Applebaum

 These thick glass pieces incorporate Swedish glass techniques with a spectacular color spectrum and trapped air to create bubbles as design elements. This very non-traditional approach allows for the exploitation of the transparent and reflective qualities of glass. “I enjoy exploring the visual dimensions of massive glass and reflective interiors, using transparent colors so that light passes through and brings out the pure beauty and essence of glass,” Applebaum explains.  

John Gerletti

John Gerletti began working in art glass over 26 years ago, well before glass gained the status it holds today as a premier fine craft collector’s medium. Gerletti's unique work includes hand-blown vessels utilizing bright opaque and opalescent colors in bold textural patterns. The colors are various types of glass that he formulates and melts in his studio.  

Each Fan bowl is unique in color and shape. Most range from about 15" - 20" in diameter and from 9" - 12" in height. Call for info and photos of the available Fan bowls.
