I have shopped at this outstanding artisan gallery for several years and I find the quality of their products to be first-rate. The hand-blown glass items are extraordinary; one can see that the artists have been influenced by the great masters. The pottery assortment is extensive and well made with both classical and whimsical designs; everything is designed to be useful. The parquetry in the wooden boxes and jewelry chests that they have for sale is exceptional and many of the craftsmen incorporate exotic woods into their pieces. The best part about this shopping experience is that everything the store sells is handcrafted in the United States; nothing is out-sourced. The staff is knowledgeable and prides itself in going the extra mile for the customer.
