Discover the Opal Series, a captivating collection of hand-blown glass vessels, vases, and bowls that explore the harmony of contrast and light.

The result is an ever-changing play of color and depth — elegant, luminous, and timeless.

Discover the captivating beauty of the Opal Series, a collection of hand-blown glass vessels, vases, and bowls that celebrate the harmony of contrast and light. Each piece begins with either a deep black or pure white base, serving as a canvas for layers of vivid, translucent hues reminiscent of naturally formed opals.

The interplay of color and opacity gives each vessel an ethereal depth — a subtle movement that shifts with changing light and surroundings.

  • Black Opal Series: accent colors of Turquoise, Topaz, and Amethyst create a bold yet graceful dialogue with the dark foundation.
  • White Opal Series: accented with Tourmaline, radiating a soft luminosity and refined purity.

Each creation embodies the timeless allure of glass artistry — elegant, balanced, and ever-changing, just like the gemstone it’s named after.

A Study in Light and Contrast

Design & Inspiration

The process begins with studying geological formations, translating their organic layers and textures into conceptual sketches that define each vessel’s form, color palette, and flow pattern.

Glassblowing & Layering

Skilled artisans hand-blow each piece, layering rich opaque base colors with fluid designs that mimic marble and mineral strata, ensuring every vessel is one-of-a-kind.

Finishing & Detailing

Once shaped, the vessel is annealed for strength, then finished with a metallic-colored lip and, for select models, a hot-sculpted finial lid — completing its transformation into a refined art object.
