 These exquisite swan vases are not churned out by the dozens by mold, but are individually hand-blown by our talented glass artist ... just for you. Because they are hand-blown, they can only be made in relatively small quantities. The odds are high that neither you nor your guests have ever seen these swans at another event.
These swans are actually hand-shaped from an amazingly sheer, hollow glass which allows for an incredible crystal-clarity when completely filled (all the way up to the head) with water! As you can see, when filled with water, it looks like solid-glass, however ... solid-glass could never be this clear!.No two are positively identical. Each is one of a kind. Further down this long page, you will find more information on their unique design as well as photographs of them empty of water and flowers
Our Swans Are Not in Stores.
 You will not find our swans on store shelves anywhere, because we do not sell them at better prices to distributors or retailers.
Don't be fooled by others who say they use our glass blowing artist.
Two Swans Facing Can Form a Semi-Heart Shape
As pictured above, two swans of the same size can form a heart-like shape for a lovely larger and longer arrangement suitable for round or long tables. Examine this photo for an example of some slight variations between vases. Although both swans are of the same Curved Neck style, they are not identical.

Use Clear or Custom Colors!
Most customers use our lovely swans filled with crystal clear water, however, ordinary food coloring can work magic should you choose to give your glass swans a hint of color. The four basic colors of food coloring can be blended to create a custom color to compliment your wedding colors or flowers. In our opinion, just a hint of color usually provides the most elegant look. A hint of blue, lavender or peach food coloring in the water may be just the touch.
How They Are Made
First, thin hollow glass tubes are heated at extremely high temperatures until soft. Our glass blowing artist then labors over each one with his hands to form a swan. The body is formed by forcing air into the softened glass tube. Finally, while still soft, the shapes of the head and neck are artfully hand-molded. The glass quickly cools and hardens. Creating these lovely vases in not a skill, but truly an art. Creating this type of swan (without deformity, breakage and wasted materials) is not easily accomplished by even the most experienced glass artist. Be aware that although they seem relatively simple, they are quite complex to make completely by hand. Our glass artist has been making them for years and he is the absolute best.

The hollow design make our lovely swans exquisitely delicate on their own, however, once filled with water, they gain a weight and substance similar to solid glass, but with a more clear appearance. Although handcrafting costs considerably more, it is necessary and preferable. Our swans possess a graceful quality; manufacturing them in a factory, by mold would produce a gaudy, chunkier swan with a thick neck that would destroy it's delicate, elegant appearance. The ability to completely water-fill, including the neck and head would also be lost. Experts in the field agree that a look this graceful is not easy to accomplish and is virtually impossible to create by mechanical mold without breakage.
 Each Swan is a Unique Creation
Because each swan is individually hand-made and not mass-produced by mold, it is impossible for two swans to be absolutely identical. It is equally impossible for any type of artist to make identical duplications of his work.
There will be slight variations, which is a preferable quality over clone-like reproductions. Just as with real, live swans, there are slight differences between swan vases of the same basic style. As with any sculpture, these differences are in no way to be considered defects, but evidence of their labor intensive, artistic creation. Each is slightly different in some very minor way.
 The Cost of Our Swans is Not in the Glass
Glass is not very expensive; the cost of our vases is in the crafting labor that it takes to produce them. You are in actuality, paying for the manufacturing process, not the glass. We have priced them at the best possible price, considering the work, time and intense heat involved in creating each one.

| | | A ripple meets the river bank
The paddling swan now passing by
He leaves his mark sparkling in the sun
His future path has not yet swum.
You the sun, and I, a swan
These words a string of ripples
As I swim on, and you shine
On my future path I must go by.
These words from movements past
Or freshly now as rippled meanings
Gently flow across the mind
Made silver by your light.
No river for these ripples writ
No cygnet for a swan beget
Not any meaning in this verse
Except your shining makes
As rivers seek to merge with lakes.
David Taylor

Still the waters of the lake
Majesty passes

| | | Every thought in my head
Each love phrase you say
Combine to make my
Heart dance...
Giving my muse a chance
To write fond memoirs
Of our golden day.
And as I'm in love with the
River of life, and classical
Music is rife, I can dream
With my darling as I float
On the pond, with the
Elegance of a 'Verdi' Swan.

| | The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty Swans.
The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since I first made my count;
I saw, before I had well finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.
Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?
William Butler Yeats
