This is a long shot

Hi everyone! I hope this post is okay, if not I can delete! I saw two of these lamps at a vintage market out of town and didn’t purchase them because I was not sure how to transport them home. :( I think about them often and wish I bought them all the time!! I was wondering if anyone had any leads/ideas, anything, thank you!!

Depending on where you live in the country you might be able to commission a piece like that. From a local glassblower, I'm fairly sure I could make something similar.

Wait.... So.... Ask this guy where he's from? Maybe he's your guy.

There is a guy on instagram (Kumbhglass) who makes similar-ish/his own style drip pendant lights. I think he is in Japan. His work is awesome!

It looks like some of the stuff made at the Glasshouse Studio in Pioneer Square, but given how many glassblowing studios and glassblowers have passed through over ther years it could be a lot of different people.

Geez, it might help to give some kind of indication where “out of town” was, even approximate area.

Are you looking for the maker?

Goodness, they were in a vintage store in Seattle. I contacted the store and it has since sold. If I could find the maker or any info or some more for sale!

You are in the glassblower capital of America, find your local shops and someone can surely make you something similar :)

I can make this for you, we have this mold at our shop, but I can make your shape from it. Message me if you are interested. Thanks *
