Etsy is a wonderful site (and a great business model) that supports "all things handmade".
Todd's current line of work includes vases, bowls (food safe), stemless wine glasses, tumblers, juice glasses, humming bird feeders, oil lamps, corked vessels, lanterns (with candle), and soap (or lotion) pumpers. He uses a variety of colors that are inspired by spending time in our great north woods and on the clear cold lakes around the Ely, Minnesota area. Hence our term "functional beauty".
If a piece is being used as a food vessel, use care with temperature changes. Do not freeze the glassware and do not warm it up too quickly (ie. from the fridge directly to the microwave). It's better to use HSGW glassware as serving vessels. Cold beverages, especially, are extra delicious and refreshing when served in our glasses!
Perhaps you have seen us at an Arts fair or you have friends or family that own a piece of HSGW glassware, or you have been shopping at MacRostie Gallery (Grand Rapids, MN), LedgeRock Pottery (Ely, MN), or The Pebble Spa Co. (Ely, MN), but just haven't found the piece that speaks to you, then please let you imagination wander with the options below. Please contact us via email for SPECIAL ORDERS (highstone@frontiernet.net). Special orders over a $50 value do require half of the payment up front. Also, special orders do cost more because Todd is an artist, so "the mood" must strike him as he perfects your piece. Don't worry, his longest special order took 2 months (not 2 years!). We will give you a time frame before we accept the order. Visa and Mastercard are accepted, but please do not email your credit card number to us, we will call you for it. With special orders or with in-stock items, shipping costs are extra from what is listed or quoted; however, we bill the exact amount that the USPS charges us (so Etsy shoppers may even get a partial refund for shipping from us), we do not make money off of shipping. We sincerely appreciate your business! Thank You.
