Cast Glass Perfume Bottle with Cap

These miniature crystal sculptures were kiln cast in the centuries old technique first used by the ancient Egyptians 5000 years ago to create gems for the Pharaohs.

This method was lost for centuries until it was rediscovered by French Artists in the late 19th Century.

Each piece is individually created on Salt Spring Island, BC by Thomas McPhee.

“I want my carvings to feel as though they’ve always existed—only now revealed.”

Sculptor Thomas McPhee

Thomas McPhee is a Canadian sculptor renowned for his masterful gemstone carvings and kiln-cast glass sculptures. Largely self-taught, he refined his skills by studying European museum collections and developing his own techniques in the early 1980s. Working in precious and semi-precious gems, McPhee combines classical realism with mythic and archetypal themes, creating small-scale works collected worldwide.

Artist Statement

“The source of my inspiration in using gemstones as a primary vehicle for expression lies in their intrinsic qualities—permanence, beauty, purity, and inner light. These materials allow me to pursue a highly refined perfection of form, creating objects that feel timeless rather than transient. Whether working in precious stones or cast glass, I aim to carve sculptures that transcend the here and now and suggest a hopeful sense of the eternal.”
