GingerELA Electroformed Oil Rig – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 21.02.2012

This beautiful heady piece is made by one of the EDiTor’s favourite glass artists around. GingerELA’s story is a heart warming one. Being fed up with her first career she had a complete change of heart and decided to dedicate her life to the torch. Since then, she has caused many waves in the borosilicate glass world. And it’s no surprise.

This GingerELA Electroformed Oil Rig is a small piece with some incredible glass work all over. The oil dome fits into this piece through an 18.8mm ground joint. There is a switchback design on this dome that is done so well the colours almost stand out in a 3d manner. The switchback design is composed of two different shades of red, two different shades of orange, bright yellow and blueish green. This is set upon a white background causing a strong contrast and a fire type effect.

The bulk of the piece is electroformed throughout. Moving down the electroformed arm that houses the oil dome, smoke moves into the large chamber in the center. The main chamber resembles the base of a tree trunk and contains two different marbles on either side. The first marble is like a galaxy marble with a holographic sliver resembling an opal. The other marble has a clear marble with an embedded yellow and blue snail. At the top of the main chamber there is another remarkable fiery switchback design that is similar to the one described above.

On the mouthpiece side of this pipe, there are three domes sprouting out that resemble a mushroom. Each of these domes contains the same switchback fiery switchback designs as well. The three arms holding these domes up have coloured glass work with yellow, blue, turquoise, black and purple glass making up the design of the mushroom stems.

The tallest and largest of these mushrooms is the mouthpiece with a hole on the side for inhalation. This is one of the EDiTor’s favourite pieces. He can only hope that the proud owner cherishes it.

Kind Sandblasted Triple Bubbler – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 20.02.2012

This exquisite Kind Sandblasted Triple Bubbler is truly one of a kind. The piece contains some beautiful sandblasting work throughout and some of the meticulous line work that Kind has made a name out of.

Starting with the 14.5mm white to clear glass slide, the bowl is white in colour and the ground joint is clear. There is a clear glass spike protruding off to the side of the bowl. The slide fits into an 18.8mm to 14.5mm 3 hole diffuser. The diffuser is mostly black in colour which turns to clear glass near the ground joint.

Smoke initially moves down the first and largest chamber. This chamber contains a midsection with line patterns etched in by Kind set upon purple borosilicate glass. There is sandblasting work both above and below the purple section.

The base of this glass bubbler is clear glass, large and circular. The bottom of the bubbler has some beautiful sandblasted line work that can only be done by Kind glass.

Smoke then moves up into two different chambers with similar purple to sandblasted glass work as the first chamber. These chambers each house a mini black 3 hole diffuser for further treatment of your smoke. Both contain line work in Kind’s signature style. There are white borosilicate glass domes on top of both of these chambers.

Smoke then moves into the long and curved white borosilicate glass mouthpiece that stands tall above the bubbler and leans back for ease of use. This is a striking and original masterpiece from Kind Glass. Not that we expected anything less.

Glassadelic Sculpted Skull Bubbler with Upline Perc – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 17.02.2012

We are very pleased to announce the arrival of Glassadelic at EDiT. This is our first Glassadelic piece and a fine one. We bring you the Glassadelic Sculpted Skull Bubbler with Upline Perc. The main focal point of this piece is the heavily worked glass skull.

Starting at the top of the bubbler, smoke moves down the clear to blue and green spiral glass. It then moves down one of the 5 worked beige to dark blood red horns. Moving on from the first chamber, smoke then moves towards a clear disc with blue and green lollipop style spiral. The other four worked horns protrude off the side of this disc.

Smoke then passes through the innovative 4 hole upline perc for optimal treatment and smoke dispersion. This chamber itself is clear glass, whilst the upline perc contains the same blue and green spirals that help bring a bright vibrant tone amongst the dark and eerie skull and horns.

Moving up from the upline percolator there is the heavily worked skull. The skull is beige and covered in the dark blood red that is also on the horns. After passing through the skull, smoke moves into the final chamber which is a large disc. This disc has the beige and blood red design along the outer rim and a clear glass to blue and green spiral on the inside.

The mouthpiece is a small cylinder with the blue and green spiral that protrudes off the side of the disc like a snorkel. This bubbler has electroformed and aged work throughout the joints of each chamber.

EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 16.02.2012 – MNP Sand Blasted Concentrate Tube with Circulator Perc

We’re proud to present this sandblasted concentrate tube with circulator percolator by MNP. From tip to tail this is another profoundly intricate and impressive piece of glass art.

Starting at the mouthpiece it already becomes apparent that the tube has been heavily worked, this detailing descends down the main tube in the form of sandblasted patterns along the neckline. In this piece large portions/ sections of the tube are left clear further highlighting the importance of both the frosted effect and the components contained within the glass bong.

As the slight reduction in the neck of the glass tube becomes apparent the frosting of the glass is once again utilized. The frosting at this point is used to emphasis the existence of the first set of 4 small chunky glass horns. These smaller horns sit just above and in-between 4 medium sized horns which have been placed and arranged in an alternating two tier fashion, maintaining the awe inspiring symmetry which remains congruent throughout this piece.

Just before the frosting on the percolated chamber subsides there is also a clear pattern which has the detailing sandblasted in to it. This pattern can be observed at 4 adjacent points on this middle chamber, and once again remains compliant with the symmetrical theme.

It is at the point where the glass becomes transparent again, so that the ‘crown jewel’ can be observed. This crown jewel refers to the multi-slit diffusion circulator perc that sits in the middle of the upper chamber. The chamber that houses this circulator perc is bulbous in nature and completely incarcerates this multi-slit diffusion percolator. The design is aimed to maximize and optimize the amount of smoke that is diffused and thus dispersed via this very special method of filtration.

As your gaze moves down from the upper chamber onto the main can, 2 southward facing, small clear glass chunky horns, sit either side of the glass tube.

The symmetrical them is once again evident as you move further down the tube, as there is additional clear glass chunky horns placed either side of the main beaker base chamber. However in this instance, this pair of glass horns are twin tipped, meaning the points face both upward and downward.

Both the front and back of this beaker base chamber are once again embellished in sandblasted glass, with the former being graced with a small yet intricate clear pattern, and the later is used to emphasize the use of additional chunky glass horns.

As previously stated the frosting on the reverse of the chamber has been used to highlight the inordinately large chunky glass horns, which have been used as another focal point of the tube. The frosting then runs through two thirds of the bottom of the base, in turn housing another intricate clear glass pattern.

As the blasted glass forms from the beaker base into the 18.8 ground joint, there is a noticeable ridge of extra glass which has been blown in for reinforcement. The blasting remains apparent all around the joint which houses the 13.5cm 5 hole concentrate diffuser, which utilizes an 18-14 reduction joint. This 5 hold diffusing downstem is again designed to achieve the optimal diffusion of smoke sought after by all glass connoisseurs.

This glass tube then concludes with the frosted glass curve which acts as the entry point for all the vapour or smoke. This glass curve features a clear pattern adorned on the reverse of the entry point, as well as an array of upward facing frosted chunky glass horns which line the spine of the curve.

This glass tube is made complete by the MNP signature which is sited on the rear of the main chamber, and can be observed amongst the frosted glass.

Another truly magnificent piece of glass art from MNP.

Kind Glass Chillum – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 14.02.2012

In the signature style of Kind, the Kind Glass Chillum is black in background with pulled metallic army green lines throughout the design. These lines tend to change in tone depending on the angle you look at it, sometimes there even a shade of yellow that pops out.

This beautifully worked chillum has this coloured design through the pipe and into the bowl. From the bowl there is a large clear glass teardrop ‘dripping’ down towards the mouthpiece. At the mouthpiece there is another clear glass marble protruding outwards from the coloured glass design.

This piece is embodies the notion of keeping it simple and effective. It’s tastefully coloured and worked to meet all your needs.

Ease Fumed Glass Bubbler with Dome – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 13.02.2012

Introducing the Ease fumed glass bubbler dome from the talented glass blower, Ease.

This amazing glass bubbler stands at a 45 degree angle and has undergone a fuming process, leaving a slight multi-toned tinge on the glass.

The bubbler itself is composed of a number of key sections, namely the main chamber, the dome style bowl and the horned neckline in addition to a number of other decorative features.

The fumed main chamber is bulbous in nature and houses the ground joint which supports the bowl of the bubbler. This main chamber is also graced with a range of decorative glass millefiori which add great character to the bubbler.

From this main chamber extends the glass mouthpiece which has been heavily worked. The detail involved becomes evident upon the inspection of the glass horns which protrude from the neck of the bubbler as well as the hand pulled design around the mouthpiece.

Another phenomenal and functional piece of art glass by Ease.

Hops Inline Glass Bong – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 10.02.2012

Here’s the famous Hops Inline Glass Bong. Hops embodies innovation, this is displayed by the fact that he invented the inline percolator! In terms of inline bongs, look no further than this genius in the industry. Hope embodies style, functionality, quality and most importantly smoothness.

This glass bong is stemless and the Hops branded pull out style bowl fits perfectly into a 14.5mm or 18.8 ground joint. This goes into a bent tube that feeds smoke into the inline percolator. The inline percolator is horizontal making the bong resemble a ‘t’. Once smoke is passed and treated through the perc, it feeds up into the tall straight tube towards the mouthpiece.

This bong has a red Hops logo on both the bowl and the straight tube.

Sizes may vary with all of these bongs. For the sandblasted bongs, illustrations may vary.

Steve Gelb and Sean Foley Mini Tube with Inline Perc – EDiTor’s Piece of the Day 08.02.2012

This Steve Gelb and Sean Foley Mini Tube with Inline Perc has the basic build and functionality of Steve Gelb’s wonderfully crafted mini tube with inline percolator and the lively colours and designs that are see in Sean Foley pieces.

Starting with the heavily worked glass bowl, this slide fits into an 18.8mm joint. It is slightly bent to lean forward to ensure the flame is away from the mouthpiece during ignition. The bowl has vibrant Switchback patterns of Green, Yellow, Black and Orange set upon a mishmash of Army Green and blue background. There are two sets of six protruding horns wrapping around the slide. The first set is shorter and is a light colour changing blue around the bottom of the bowl. The other set of six are slightly longer horns that are a dark colour changing green.

Moving down from the unique glass slide, smoke moves through a disc chamber that contains three solid blue colour glass horns on each side and a Sean Foley Switchback design in the centre. Just above the disc there is a small marble with switchback milli.

After passing through the disc shaped chamber, smoke moves through into the unique 7 slit inline perc filling up the large cylindrical shaped clear glass chamber.

Once the smoke is treated it moves up to another heavily worked section of the waterpipe. This top section of the pipe contains two large discs on top of each other with Sean Foley switchback designs and decorative multi-coloured horns protruding from the discs.

In between these two discs on the front of the Tube there is a decorative marble with beautiful milli work featuring the signatures ‘SG’ and ‘STF’ together. This marble has different sized coloured horns protruding from each side making the marble resemble a spider.

On the back of this tube there is a clear glass crystal set upon a small singular switchback design. One look through the centre of this crystal and it creates a kaleidoscope effect showing 13 of these switchbacks.

At the top of the tube the bong is finished off with an exquisitely made bulbous mouthpiece containing swirls of orange, yellow, green and black.

All in all, a very colourful and eye catching masterpiece created by two of the best.
