A couple of our favorite pieces by Lundberg Studios Art
Glass. Exclusive to Lundberg Studios, design styles range from antique to contemporary,
from Tiffany to Art Deco. Lundberg Art Glass is made entirely at the studios
on a limited production basis. Melting all its own exotic colors, Lundberg
Studios has refined the art of making quality glass by using a blend of
techniques both traditional and innovative. To own a piece of Lundberg
Art Glass is to own an heirloom. The land masses now on the surface of the ocean glass, it is shaped into a sphere, careful not to twist or distort the image. Next, the entire world is plunged back into a pot of crystal glass for the final layer. More often than not, this last gathering of glass will cause a crease on the surface of the ocean near the bottom, appearing as a fine hairline. Inherent in the way the layers are joined, this is not a crack or flaw. In our studio we humorously call this The Lundberg Fault Line. The Worldweight Extras and Classics have additional layers of crystal encasing them. These paperweights are a triumph of glass chemistry, just like the birth
of the planet, itself. The Worldweight has been used by numerous corporations,
Presidents, and noted world celebrities as special awards for achievement.
The demand continues for these very unique pieces. Site Created and Maintained by Nancysfancy

The glass
worker starts by gathering a nucleus of opal glass on the end of along
stainless steel rod. Meanwhile the other craftsman has been skillfully
preparing a sketch of the world map by using specially formulated and
finely ground glass powders. The opal core is then dipped into a glass
remarkably like our oceans, and while still very hot, it is rolled over
the powdered glass drawing.
