Large spheres of handblown Czech glass with a custom brass socket assembly through one side. Each glass sphere is blown by hand without the use of moulds, and so is slightly imperfect in shape. Available in two sizes. Each is broken hot from the blower's pipe and the mouth then fire-polished to create an uncontrollable detail unique to each piece. Two brass thumb screws attach the removable bulb-and-socket from the side of the glass.

Handblown glass production results in variation in dimensions, shape, color saturation, color tint, and imperfections such as small bubbles. This is part of SkLO design intent
We design and manufacture handblown glass lighting and objects from our studios in Healdsburg, Northern California and the Czech Republic. Every SkLO product is made with a deep appreciation for the richness of its organic material and the historical craft tradition it embodies.SkLO designs demonstrate careful attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the simplest expression of beauty. This belief in simplicity and design discipline is always balanced by a deep respect for the raw material, and closeness to the maker. There’s an inherent primal brutality and unexpectedness in glassblowing, and in Czech glass in particular. Masters of the craft make manipulation of molten glass appear effortless, as they employ generations of skillful technique. Our designs celebrate this process in their subtle irregularities, making each one a unique reflection of its long history.
