Welcome to our new Showroom. This page primarily focuses on the stone
work from both local artists and from around the world that can now be
found at the Glasshouse Works. The Glasshouse Works recently purchased
an old hotel building (small town hotel) and moved our offices to the
lower floor. There are two floors--a skyscraper by Stewart, Ohio standards!
and we have created a showroom for our Home, Conservatory, and Garden
items. In the links below over the next few months, you will find listed
more of the items from our Showroom for you to buy by mail. Peruse the
following items and links perhaps for your springtime shopping needs this
year. We have many links from these pages to the full Studio Offerings
of these artists and sources. You can click anywhere as you browse below
where it says "Click Here to See More" to go directly to a full page of
items similar to the group you are browsing. We have been bringing in
distinctive and offering items not found necessarily elsewhere on the
Internet. Various of the items we offer are by Ohio craftmen and artists!
If we have full pages from these artists, the listings on this page will
be selections from the collections and you will need to click to see more
So take a look. And enjoy your browsing

New! The Glasshouse Works Commissions from China
Our First commissioned items from China are now here! We have just received a group of twelve Chinese Auspicious Animals! They are sculpted in either marble and granite. We picture three of them just below. We call them "Lucky Beasts." Indeed it it difficult to translate directly from the Chinese, but these beasts are a great piece of sculpture for the garden. We are keeping one inside by the fireplace. They traditionally are put in the garden because they are said to give good fortune to the owner and to protect from evil spirits. They are considered great watchers of the home and garden. Originally, the auspicious animal (from the research we have been doing) was the animal accompanying the ancient Chinese god of Judgement, Gao Yao (also know as Ting-Jian), help him to detect injustice. His accompanying animal, a mythical one-horned goat (sometimes described as a qilin, or unicorn) butted the guilty but spared the innocent. For those of you familiar witht he movie "The Yellow Submarine," he might remind you of a blue meanie. At any rate, we have seen these in various forms and different media over the years. The image we had these designed from was from a large incense burner in copper which we saw at the famous "Sun of Heaven" Chinese exhibit 10 years ago. We chose them to be in lasting stone for our gardening friends. Keep this in mind for this winter or next spring. Buy an auspicious animal for your small or large garden area. The one foot high size is perfect for inside the home too. The price is amazing low considering the fact that we had to made to order and they were shipped from just outside Beijing!
We commisioned some wonderful sandstone tiki heads. Let us know if you are interested in these for mailorderp>

of Chinse Art. We now have various foo-dogs (or estate lions) in the
gardens and in the nurseries for sale. We offer some of these items

below we have several of the first stone statues available. Check back
