Mini Glass Figurines — Handmade Set of 10

Regular price $95.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Ten miniature glass animals in a box — each one lampworked by hand from solid colored glass rods under a 900°+ flame. Choose your assortment from five curated packs, each with a different mix of creatures. The scale is small — most pieces are between 1 and 2 inches tall — but the detail is absurd. Tiny whiskers. Curled tails. Bulging cartoon eyes that look genuinely startled to be alive. They weigh more than they look because they're solid glass, not hollow.

Made in L'viv, Ukraine, by artisans at Glass by Iness — a family studio that's been producing lampworked glass for over 25 years. Each artisan completes technical school and apprentices for several years under master glassblowers before making finished work. Every ear, leg, spot, and eyeball is placed individually while the glass is still molten, which means no two versions of the same animal are ever exactly identical.

Choose your pack above — each assortment includes 10 figurines as shown. What you see is what you get.

STORY

Made by artisans at Glass by Iness, a family studio in L'viv, Ukraine, that has been making glass figurines for over 25 years. The family left Ukraine in the late 1980s — some to America, some to Germany — and one uncle purchased a well-known European vase manufacturer and began producing smaller glass pieces. What started with candle holders and Christmas ornaments grew into one of the largest lampworked glass studios in Europe. Each piece is shaped under a 900°+ flame using hand tools to stretch, fuse, and pinch solid colored glass rods into form. Every artisan completes technical school, apprentices for several years with master glassblowers, and is only then trusted to make finished work. Everything — including the glass itself — is made by hand in L'viv.

Care Instructions

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Handle with care — solid glass but breakable on impact. Display on stable, flat surfaces away from edges.
