John Chiles Art Glass Goblets

Filed under: Decor

A table full of these happy goblets would be sure to brighten up any party and get people smiling while still maintaining an air of sophistication. John Chiles strives "to give simple shapes gestures using color and playful geometric juxtapositions" by using traditional glass blowing techniques. Each part is created separately and then fused together, which lends that much more individual personality to the finished product. And it seems pretty much everything in his collection has this same air of peaceful whimsy about it. The goblets are priced at $365 each.

Cesare Toffolo Goblets

Filed under: Decor, Art

As the name suggests, the Mostly Glass Gallery features works by artists who employ mostly glass in their creations. With so many beautiful pieces featured on the site, it is hard to choose just one to present here. Fabienne Picaud's Tulips are beautiful, as are Christine Barney's colorful abstract glass sculptures. But Cesare Toffolo's Piccoli Uomini goblets stand out for their whimsy. Ranging from 6 1/2 to 12 inches tall, the blown glass shapes are banded in royal blue and adorned with similarly-hued figures, running, sitting and standing around the goblets. $1850.
