Every so often I come across a product that I immediately categorize as essential inventory in my future fantasy house—the one my hubby and I will create once money is no object. Of course, in the real world of limited finances we might choose one of artist Tracy Glover’s lovely pendants as the one and only fantasy acquisition.

If you’ve seen (and felt) glass blowing up close, you’ll appreciate the scope of Glover’s talent, for manipulating molten glass into such mesmerizing forms as the Fishbowl, Barrel, and Enoki Pendants—each with a uniform shape and dimension that approaches perfection that seems like work of a magician.

She has not only mastered the form, but also her integration of color and style. With six patterns, twenty colorways, fifteen solids, choice of
LED or halogen
bulbs, and two metal finishes, there is something for eveyone in her collection.

I might just create a space for these gorgeous pendants in my current home, as the elusive fantasy house remains only in my dreams.

About the Designer: After her daily sunrise row on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, artist Tracy Glover sets to work in her glassblowing studio, creating the most amazing collection of handblown glass accessories, pendant lights, table lamps, floor lamps, and wall lamps you’ll ever see. Glover’s pieces run the aesthetic gamut—from teardrop pendants to voluminous barrel-style shades to lovely, linked cascading glass balls: “Her skill is first as expert craftsman, using time-honored Venetian glassblowing techniques. Then there is her color sense: playful, lighthearted, fresh; marrying hues in triplicate for her wonderful cane striped patterns.”
