For as long as I can remember, I've been captivated by the artistry of ancient glassblowing and the dazzling beauty of mosaic tesserae. Long before modern manufacturing, Roman craftsmen transformed molten glass into extraordinary vessels alive with color, pattern, and light. Even in fragmentary form, these surviving pieces reveal a level of creativity and technical mastery that continues to inspire nearly two thousand years later.
The Ancient Glass Series celebrates these remarkable archaeological treasures through faithful reproductions of authentic Roman glass fragments dating from the late 1st century BCE to the early 1st century CE. Printed on natural soapstone, each design preserves the intricate canework, vibrant colors, and mesmerizing geometric patterns that have fascinated historians, archaeologists, and collectors for generations.
Design 2. Honey Ribbon
Warm amber and honey tones interwoven with blue, white, and yellow zigzag ribbons create a bold, flowing mosaic pattern.

The Ancient Glass Series transforms these extraordinary remnants of Roman craftsmanship into functional works of art that celebrate history, color, and the enduring magic of ancient glass.
