Pâte de verre, a centuries-old formula for cast lead crystal glass, has been revived by French decorative arts, including Galle and Tiffany. Our process mimics the original material so some pieces resemble amethyst, sapphire, tourmaline or emerald, or jade or agate with opaque-colored glass. It's available in a variety of colors (please inquire for other options). This item ships in a 3 ½ x 3 ½ x 1 inch jewellery box, padded 6 x 9 x 1½ inch envelope.

“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.”
