caviar made from solid sculpted glass, presented on a ceramic caviar serving dish

Erin and Jason join creative forces to share with you a collaboration inspired by a mutual appreciation for the culinary arts in marriage with high craftsmanship!

This collaboration began when Erin, on a search for a skilled glassmaker, discovered the one-of-a-kind art glass beetroot cloches that Jason recently created for Atelier Crenn, a 3 Star Michelin Restaurant in the heart of San Francisco.

During our first meeting Erin and Jason shared project concepts and work samples with one another and; on seeing a particularly nice glaze on one of Erin’s pieces; simultaneously had the idea to create glass caviar to harmonize with / accompany Erin’s glazed Caviar serving dishes.

With mutual enthusiasm it was agreed that this collaboration must go ahead.

How a blown Glass Chestnut is born

+ bonus beautiful handblown and sculpted glass acorn ..

Hi, it’s been a while since Birgit & I last made blog updates. It’s been far too quiet around here. Let’s change that.

Did you know that I make ‘Alice in Wonderland’ nuts and seeds out of hot blown and sculpted glass?
I am holding an Italian roasting chestnut baby in the picture below…

Jason’s chestnuts are already a complete product, available and made to custom order. But I would absolutely love to make the spiky outer husk out of glass as well. What do you think? Should I try it?

I make solid clear glass acorns like the ones below. But I also have a line of giant blown glass acorns. The difference is scale and that the smaller ones are solid and the giant acorns are hollow. The shapes are the same and can also be customised depending on your preference.

(By the way, if I don’t have an acorn waiting for you on the shelf then everything is available for custom order, turnover time can be around 2 weeks, but let me know if you are in a pickle and need an acorn to deliver to a squirrel with a tighter deadline, I will do what I can!)
