A lost glass art.....rediscovered
Additional Information
With the passing of the last generation of glass craftsmen , the art of making and incorporating rosettes & cabochons in glass was lost to time.
During my many visits to the Netherlands I had the privilege of being able to restore and study authentic rosette work in great detail, where antiquity is well preserved and incorporated into modern life.
It took us more than 10 years to perfect this art form of the great glass craftsmen of the bygone era.
We think ourselves as stewards and keepers of the flame for the next generation of craftspeople.
