When talking about realism in glass it doesn't get better than Gordon Smith. For years Gordon has tirelessly honed his craft. Today he is at the height of his career - making some of the most realistic and biologically accurate compositions ever attempted in glass.

Compound weights like the one offered here are uncommon due to the difficulty in layering multiple encasements. This scene is executed in three layers. The upper layer depicts the surface of the pond with five delicately shaded waterlilies on a pale mottled transparent blue surface. Just under the surface of the water we find a pair of scaled Koi perfectly shaded in tones of orange and gold decorated with naturalistic spotting along the sides of the fish. The lowest level features a sandy bottom with carefully sifted tones of off-white and grains of darker frit and tumbled stones scattered along the bottom. 

Every detail in this work is crafted by using a torch, colored glass rods and fine metal instruments. Take for instance the scales on the snake and fish, these scales were individually sculpted and placed one at a time; each individually sculpted and then painstakingly applied one-by-one.  Few artists posses the skill, dedication and patients required to achieve such realism in a glass paperweight.

Love the suit
Size: Small, Color: Navy Blue
I love buying my son suits from here. This was my first purchase and it fit him well no adjustment needed. We got a size small . He’s a 14 year old young man. The material was great quality.

Nice looking suit!
Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black
This suit fits my son perfectly & looks great! He is 5'9" & 145 lbs and I ordered a size Small. I was worried it would be big, but it looks & fits great! He'll be wearing it for his sister's wedding in the fall. We got a burnt orange vest, tie & pocket square to go with it. I can't speak to how wrinkle resistant it is since he hasn't worn it yet. My only complaint is that the breast pocket appears to be a fake pocket, so we cannot put a pocket square in it.

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
