The inter-island ferry you are traveling on comes rapidly up on the dock, you think you're going to collide and then the engines reverse and it gently comes to a stop, magically, not even a bump. The deck hands hold the ropes and the passengers disembark. The line of people waiting quickly board and it seems that almost before it's settled in the water the ropes are cast off and with a roar of the engines it's off again to the next stop. An aquatic bus stop. There in front of you is yet another enchanting sea-side village, tavernas and shops along the quay, tiny foot paths winding up between the white-washed buildings toward the mountain sitting majestically behind. The contrast of the deep blue water, the cerulean sky, and the billowing white clouds with the myriad of colorful flowers, doors, shutters and domes of the roofs is mesmerizing. If only you could bring this home.

With this fused glass you can…..

The Artist, Anastasia, inspired by the beauty of Greece and the fascinating colors of the Aegean, gives each piece a new dimension, combining the ancient art of glass fusion with a 21st century imagination.

Each item is made by infusing various materials into the glass at temperatures in excess of 1500° F and cooled on a sand cast mold. The unique colors are created by the embedded oxides of various metals.

The result is a beautiful hand-crafted piece of art, each with its own unique expression and personality and each re-creates for you a little piece of Greece.

Both decorative and functional, use on a bright window shelf, table centerpiece or as a serving plate for a snack of feta cheese and Kalamata olives, tasty Mediterranean shrimp (recipe on request) or brimming over with your favorite fruit. The uses are only limited to your imagination.
