Nine Banded Armadillo of Hand Blown Glass and 24K Gold

NEVER a RESERVE PRICE on ANY of our auctions. We think this keeps everything simple and you, the buyer, can bid with confidence.

New Original Design by Kevin Prochaska, Glass artist at Disneyland for more than 10 years. 

Before seeing video and watching the behaviors of this well armored creature, the artist admits to knowing very little about these animals.  Intrigued by what he saw, he was inspired to do further study and quickly became a fan. It was not long before he knew he had to include the unique mammal in his glass menagerie. This delightfully charming armadillo measures approximately 5 inches long and is made entirely of hand blown glass.  The unique application of 24K gold reveals a colorful dimension to the glass.  The vivid rainbow of colors is created when pure gold is applied to the glass while it is still molten. This expressive nine banded ‘dillo will make a wonderful addition to your zoo. Purchase includes an attractive information card trimmed with gold foil. To learn more about the artist and his work which has appeared in numerous feature length films, and even at the Whitehouse, visit prochaskagalleries.com. Retails at specialty shops for $99.00.

Safe Shipping Guarantee

Safe arrival and your complete satisfaction are always guaranteed. Extraordinary care is taken to insure the safe arrival of your blown glass figurine.  We use a three-step process that has resulted in the safe shipment of thousands of Prochaska Galleries sculptures over the past 30 years.

Step 1: As it is being made, the glass blower takes special care to reinforce all stress points to help protect against shock damage.  Additionally all natural stresses are removed from the glass by a high temperature tempering process called annealing. 

Step 2: After the figurine is removed from our annealing oven it is thoroughly inspected by the artist who makes certain that all internal stresses have been removed from the glass and that its surfaces have been properly vitrified.

Step 3: Finally, it’s time for careful packaging in not one, but two cartons. Both are filled with shock absorption materials.   The sculpture itself is firmly held in place inside the internal carton so as to prevent movement.  Loose fill between the two cartons guards against shock and the external box protects against obvious damage.

Our Guaranty: If for any reason you are unhappy with the quality of any piece of art from Prochaska Galleries, simply return it for a full refund or replacement, customer's choice. (We do ask that we be notified within 7 days of receipt of your order if you are not 100% satisfied). We accept PayPal, personal checks and money orders and ship via UPS/insured under normal circumstances.
