This art glass box was hand made by the Maître Verrier (Master Glassblower) Patrick Crespin, who has been a glass maker since 1977. From his workshop in Bessines-sur Gartempe (Haute-Vienne), very near Limoges in France, he uses techniques involving both hot and co...ld glass to make decorative objects and fine Art Nouveau lighting. This box is made by the Pâte de Verre (literally 'molten glass') method, in which different colors of crushed or powdered glass are blended and fused together into a paste and then molded. Crespin is a member of Luxe & Excellence, a group of prestige manufacturers and creative craftsmen, whose small number of members must meet strict criteria, such as making high-end products solely produced in the Limousin area of France. More information on M. Crespin can be found at http://www.luxeetexcellence.com. In an article about him in the e-mag LIM & YOU, he was described as "a magician of fire and color."
