Ne'Qwa Art was begun in 2001 by Michael Thalasinos and Jim Sexton. The word Ne'Qwa is a Mandarin term which describes the centuries-old artistic tradition of painting on the inside of glass. This company is bringing that brand of intensely skilled art to a new level with licensed Glass Ornaments from a variety of well-known artists. Each of their Christmas Tree Ornaments is crafted of mouth-blown glass and painted through a small opening in the top. The intricate details and deep, rich colors of their Christmas Decorations are applied using a brush as fine as a single hair. Each of these Glass Ornaments comes luxuriously packed in a hand-crafted, satin-lined, velour presentation case. In addition, each of the Holiday Decorations is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. As their motto goes, “after all, true beauty comes from within.”

Department 56: In 1987, five tiny bisque figures were introduced into a magical realm of sparkling imagination, heartwarming delight and youthful innocence called "Frosty Frolic Land™". Since then, this charming collection has grown to include waterglobes, music boxes, ornaments, hinged boxes, and display pieces. These finely detailed collectibles, each with a hand-painted face and hand-applied frosty bisque snow crystals are created by artist Kristi Jensen Pierro. Kristi’s ideas are inspired by watching children, mostly her own, and by recalling her own childhood experiences. Pewter miniature Snowbabies Figurines were introduced in 1989. As with all the, the title of each design is an expression that adds charm to the piece and tells the story.
Franz Porcelain Producing the finest and most distinguished porcelains! Inspired by the love for nature, Franz Porcelain developed delicate butterflies, fragile flowers, whimsical animals, and other motifs that successfully and uniquely combine traditional Chinese character with classic Art Nouveau designs. Every piece of Franz Porcelain blends the essence of Oriental culture with the styling inspired by Western artistry. Franz Porcelain is created using the finest Chinese clay and glazes - and with a little touch of magic from the goodwill of the Chinese spirits of Fire and Earth! More than a dozen separate processes go into the production of the intricately sculpted Franz Porcelain tabletop, vases, and decorative accents. Franz's talented staff of artisans has experimented with the many ways to glaze, decorate and fire ceramics for decades. Today, they employ traditional underglazing techniques as well as colored glazing, crystalline glazing and overglazing to produce unique and elegant products. Using the underglazing technique, the finest Chinese clay is painted with a subtle Oriental color palette, coated with a layer of transparent glaze, and put into a kiln for firing at a temperature of about 1,000 Celsius degrees. The end results are aesthetically pleasing, and create a distinctively stylish décor collection. Every piece of porcelain that Franz Porcelain delivers to our valuable customers superbly illustrates Franz Porcelain creators' graceful design, intricate skills, and the desire for perfection. The company's continued investment in production techniques and highly skilled artisans will ensure that these unique designs can be recreated in fine detail and meet the market demand for home décor ranges.
For more than 30 years, Glass Eye Studio has designed and created exquisite handmade glass. Through vibrant paperweights, innovative ornaments, functional bowls and vases, our family of glass artisans strives to pass to our customers the same marvel and appreciation that we have for blown glass. The process, from start to finish, creates the true beauty and mystery of glass. Applying immense heat to a mixture of mostly sand, glass evolves. Each individual piece begins by gathering a precise amount of glass on the end of a blowpipe or rod. To reach the desired look, our blowing team uses a wide array of color and materials. Many of Glass Eye Studio's designs require days of preparation before a single piece is even made. Manipulating the look of the glass, the blower shapes the molten mass with light but precise touches of manual tools. After a quick fire-polish, the product is slowly brought to room temperature over a period of days. Finally. and annealed solid piece is finished using diamond wheel grinders and polishing stones.

Just a little bit about Mosser Glass: The origins of Mosser Glass go back more than half a century to the time when my father Orie was the plant manager of the Cambridge Glass Company. I began working there as a teenager, learning the trade the right way, from bottom to top. When Cambridge Glass closed in 1954, I decided I wanted to continue in the glass business with a company of my own. It took a while for a young man just starting in life to put together the elements necessary to do that. I spent five years buying glass moulds, searching for used equipment I could afford and saving money. In 1959, I was finally able to begin manufacturing glassware in, of all places, an abandoned chicken coop. Things worked out and within two years, I was able to leave the coop and form Variety Glass, producing glassware for the pharmaceutical industry. I had decided from day one that I was committed to manufacturing quality glassware and I feel that brought us continuing success. In 1971, I established Mosser Glass. Today, we employ over 30 people in an efficient manufacturing process configured to provide the highest quality glassware for our customers. Our product line mixes new designs with timeless classics acquired from Viking, L.G. Wright and, of course, Cambridge Glass. I am also proud to say my family continues to operate the company. Georgianna, my wife, brings her love of antiques to the design of original pieces. My son Tim is the plant manager, and my daughters Sally and Mindy oversee the office. This mix of generations brings new ideas to the company without the loss of the traditions our customers cherish. My family and I are proud of the legacy that my father Orie began. As you look through the following pages, you will see we continue that legacy, blending beauty and fine craftsmanship in every piece of glassware we produce. We hope it brings you as much pleasure as it brings us.
