Art glass

Art glass is decorative glass created by skilled artisans, often featuring intricate designs, vivid colors, and unique techniques. Unlike mass-produced glassware, art glass emphasizes craftsmanship, creativity, and aesthetic expression. It can include sculptures, vases, paperweights, and stained glass, valued for its artistic quality and beauty. Art glass often involves specialized methods like lampworking, fusing, or etching, resulting in pieces that are both functional and visually striking. It is collected and appreciated for its craftsmanship, originality, and emotional appeal, making it a distinctive form of artistic expression within the broader glassmaking tradition.
