About Breitbart & Wakamiya Glass

We create original hand-blown functional and decorative glass works with many intricate patterns and distinctive forms. Designs are of from solid, opaque works that have a visual substance to ethereal transparent objects with floating elements executed with surprising and exciting forms. Our creations are solidly founded on the search for an expanded vocabulary in the medium. We accomplish this by building on and departing from the rich history of 20th century Italian and Scandinavian design.
