What is glass art – craft, materials and techniques
Glass art is the collective term for artistic objects made of glass, such as vases, bowls and sculptures. Craft is central: mouth-blown glass arises when the glassblower gathers molten glass on a blowpipe and, with breath, gravity and tools, shapes it into an object. This makes every piece literally one of a kind. Besides blowing, there are other techniques. Glass fusing – often called glass fusing – stacks and melts multiple layers of glass together in a kiln to create crisp color blocks or patterns. You will also find our cameo glass collection with artistic, multi-layered decorations. We also use crystal glass when extra brilliance, clarity and weight are desired. Colors are created by adding metal oxides, think copper for turquoise or cobalt for deep blue. In our collection you can see that craftsmanship in lively color transitions, playful air bubbles, subtle inclusions and perfectly finished edges. Whether you choose contemporary glass art with an abstract form or figurative objects such as flowers and animals – with handmade glass you bring tangible refinement into your home.

Mouth-blown glass vases
A mouth-blown vase is both functional and sculptural. Display it solo as an art object on a sideboard or fill it with fresh flowers for a seasonal accent. Our range includes classic transparents, marbled color blends and striking statement pieces with bold color bands – inspired by traditional Murano techniques and Bohemian glass aesthetics. Because of the craft, small differences in height, wall thickness and color transitions stand out, exactly what gives each vase its own signature. A popular example is a rainbow vase of around 35 cm with flowing tones – sturdy, stable and with a narrow neck that supports bouquets beautifully. Styling tip: combine two heights within one color theme or let contrasting colors pop against a neutral wall. Thanks to our direct importing, Eliassen offers quality at a sharp price and a choice of various sizes for table, windowsill or floor. For a bold color statement, also discover our colored glass vases for a stylish accent at home or in the office.
Glass paintings and glass art for the wall
Do you want a frameless eye-catcher with intense color depth and gloss? Then a glass painting is a strong choice. With high-quality glass art on the wall, color and reflection come to life beautifully. The image is applied on or in glass, making colors appear deeper and reflections add extra dynamism. In modern interiors, a skyline or abstract pattern works beautifully above the sofa or by the dining table, while nature motifs bring calm to a hall or bedroom. For offices and reception areas, glass art on the wall gives a professional yet creative look. Practical advantage: glass is easy to clean and retains its color intensity for a long time. In our showroom in Ammerzoden you can see different sizes – from compact panels to generous statement pieces – and compare gloss, color and hanging systems side by side. Looking for an art object that also provides mood lighting? Discover our glass lamps.
Glass bowls
Glass bowls are ideal eye-catchers for coffee table, side table or dining table. From gently undulating rims to graphic color planes – each bowl adds texture and play of light. Use them empty as an art object, with fruit for a daily splash of color or with decorative items per season. Thanks to the mouth-blown finish the rims are smoothly rounded and the bowl feels solid. Choose a contrasting hue to make a neutral interior sparkle, or go tone-on-tone for subtle harmony.
Glass sculptures and objects
From playful animals to organic abstract forms – our glass sculptures are true conversation starters. Think compact objects for a windowsill or desk, and expressive sculptures as a focal point in the living room. Thanks to the craft, color bands, air bubbles and light reflections play differently at every moment. Looking for larger statement pieces? View our glass sculptures. Prefer figurative work? Discover glass human figures for an artistic addition to your interior. Looking for small, collectible objects? Then take a look at our glass miniatures.
Glass birds
Glass birds bring movement and color into your interior. A kingfisher with a bright blue-orange gradient looks fresh and modern, while a blackbird or owl in deeper tones adds warmth. By twisting the glass during blowing, crisp lines or wing-like swirl effects emerge – perfect for catching the light on a windowsill. Choose a compact size as a subtle note on a shelf, or go for a larger specimen as a solo piece on a sideboard. For gifts, glass birds work especially well: they are timeless, symbolic and suit many interior styles. Thanks to our close cooperation with European glass studios you can choose from various shapes, heights and color combinations, each one handmade and unique. Like to collect more species?
