~Medieval Series # 1~

The stems designs in this series of goblets were inspired by the ornamentation of medieval weaponry.

The red and blue deigns exude the pride of medeival hiearchy,and significance of noblemen in medeival times.

The orange and blue piece has afree spinning marble in the middle of the design.

Each piece stands 15 to 17 inches tall.

Thanks for looking.Sincerely,

Nate Purcell

Well- I started blowing glass in 1998 with Sean Stirling(Smiley) in Boulder Colorado.After being really poor in CO. I decided to move back to Philly.I guess I just missed the city life and I was tired of not being able to eat after 10 at night. The first couple of years in Philly were pretty rough but I ran in to some good people and shit started poppin' off.One thing led to another and I built Philly Glass Works.So with having focus for 7 and half years shit finally worked out.I would like to say thanks to -first and foremost- Smiley for teaching me in the begining and All the other glass blowerers in Philly that helped me out too ....Peace...(I'm focused man!)

thanks
well the reason that i catagorized these pieces in a funcutional art is because they do hold a liquid with out spilling over.Yes the may not be the most functional everday use glass ,but when there is nothin around my shop to drink out of i'll pick one up and use it.

I do not really understand what you saying about the marbles.I love hearing positve critsizim but wish you could explain more to me so that i can comprehend what your are trying to say........thanks nate

Hell yeah, Nate.
These pieces are great!!! I love the symmetry in the main stem element. Lots of good visual tension created by the height. Great bold colors, too.

Keep it up!

These are nasty
Beautiful (and nasty) wine glasses. I'd hate to get drunk holding one of them. Contact me if you want to make a collab series with gems and silver on the stems.
