The Giraffe … Living in the backcountry of San Diego County, with the San Diego Wild Animal Park practically in his backyard, one of this artist’s favorite animals to observe is the stately giraffe.  This majestic sculpture of hand blown glass is trimmed with 24K gold and measures 6” in height.  In this rendition, the watchful giraffe stands with his head erect and turned slightly, ears listening carefully for the slightest sound. This blown glass figurine is made entirely by hand of borosilicate crystal and the dramatic colors are created from the application of pure gold to the molten glass. 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.
