Amphora

These small vessels are patterned after ancient jars known as Amphora found on sunken Greek ships by archaeologists. Thank you National Geographic for showing me this world. The connection from an ancient people with a form so clean, graceful and useful still today always leaves me amazed.

These Amphora are two to three inches long and are colored both from the inside and outside and are often fumed. They are worn around the neck as a focal point of a necklace. They can also can be used to hold essential oils for aromatherapy.

 Artist:   Newbery Art Glass  ( ) Contact Artist 
Warren's long-time fascination with glass began at the age of ten when a master glassblower from East Germany moved into his neighborhood. Warren watched his future teacher and mentor at every opportunity and finally began his apprenticeship in 1975. Over 25 years later, he still considers himself only a student of glass.

While circumstances have led him to other careers along the way, Warren has always been drawn back to glass. Recently he has returned his focus to his favorite artistic medium. He creates lampworked, fused and blown glass pieces including beads, marbles, paperweights, pendants, vessels, birds, sea mammals, and small wildlife. Each piece is unique, handcrafted from his private studio in the San Francisco Bay area.

His work can be found in retail stores, gift shops, galleries, and private collections internationally.

You can not buy happiness off the rack.
You have to make it your self!
