Whimsical Glass Faucets from James McKelvey

Not only is this faucet beautiful but it also appeals to the whimsical child inside of me that still secretly gets a kick out of using silly straws. Bright vibrant color combines with the natural beauty of glass for a unique visual impact. Standing tall above the vanity the James McKelvey collection of glass faucets feature a ribbed hand-blown design in lead-free crystal that is easy to clean and bacteria resistant. And they're not only beautiful to look at, but to use also as the water will stream down from such a high vantage point. Available in a variety of heights, colors, and single or double-twist designs, you can easily fit it into almost any color and decorating scheme.

Knowing me I'd hit it with the hair dryer and break it into a million pieces!

Beautiful, not very practical and I am sure way too expensive.

I am a bargain shopper. Do all (or most of) my gift shopping online through an online mall that gives you 2- 55% CASH back on all your purchases at over 1000 stores (the Gap, DELL, Target, Best buy, Blue Nile Sephora...)

Have to admit they are nice looking faucets. To me this is the type of faucet you put in a Guest Bathroom that does not get used much or where children love playing with the water.
I'd be curious to see how much they are and if they offer a "Product Replacement Plan" in case of damage.

The word "WOW" comes to mind. But, alas, it wouldn't last a week around me. Sad.

Hmmm. I can imagine red & white striped for Xmas! : )

you can have these in you bathroom for about $2200. the faucet is between 1100 and 1400 and the handles are 900. He is a well known glass artist.

Cool! Now glass blowers can make something more then bongs! I think this would appeal to rich stoners.

Since it is so much higher then the basin I'm just seeing a problem here with the water splashing all over as you wash your hands?

What's next...clear glass toilets? I don't even want to go there!

When I bend down to rinse my face, I'd bang my head! Then when I break it off, the water would be squirting up to the ceiling.
Beautiful, but not at all practical. But at $2200, not in my price range either, so I guess I'll just use the faucet I've got.

I`ll take it in a pale blue. Tempered glass maybe so it doesnt shatter or break so easily as one might think? They do it with auto glass and at $2200 i should expect that. If thats the case, I take one!
