Glass Hummingbird and Flowers on Amethyst Crystal
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. A notable sculpture, this original work of art is personally signed by the artist, making it an even more exceptional gift for someone special. After years of watching dozens of hummingbirds drink nectar from the Mexican sage that grows just outside their kitchen window, the artist and his wife had the desire to create a piece that would not only feature a more realistic hummingbird but also freeze it in flight. We think this sculpture accomplishes that mission beautifully. This piece magnificently displays the multitude of colors that are released from pure gold when it is carefully heated and applied to molten glass. Hummingbird’s eyes are dotted with cobalt blue glass but all the other colors come from 24K gold. This figurine is not as fragile as it might appear because the hummingbird and flowers are actually two separate pieces. When sculpture arrives, you simply place the hummingbird’s beak into the center of the flower so that it hovers above. A gorgeous base of imported amethyst crystal has been hand selected by the artist to complement each individual sculpture. The entire piece measures approximately 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide. Hummingbird and flowers are made entirely by hand from borosilicate crystal and a lovely information card trimmed with gold foil is included with your purchase.

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 Guarantee: 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.
