We think this keeps everything simple and you, the buyer, can bid with confidence.   New Original Design by Kevin Prochaska, Glass artist at Disneyland for more than 10 years.    The appreciation for the graceful form of the equine athlete is apparent in this elegant glass sculpture.  For as long as he can remember, horses have been a part of the artist’s life. From a young age, he would spend hours studying the conformations of the different breeds and make sketches of their many variations. He was delighted when his daughter’s interest mirrored his own and they spent many hours together at the local stables as she learned both English and western styles of riding. This superbly detailed offering is unique to Prochaska Galleries and is personally signed by the artist. Horse figurine measures approximately 7 inches long and 7 inches tall and is made entirely by hand of borosilicate crystal. The unusual details of the mane, tail and fetlocks are all created by hundreds of air tiny bubbles delicately folded into the molten glass and then stretched into the hair-like form. Serious collectors will especially appreciate the design. Makes a thoughtful and unique gift.

Extraordinary care is taken to insure the safe arrival of your blown glass figurine.  We use a three-step process that has resulted in the safe shipment of thousands of Prochaska Galleries’ sculptures over the past 30 years.   Step 1: As it is being made, the glass blower takes special care to reinforce all stress points to help protect against shock damage.  Additionally all natural stresses are removed from the glass by a high temperature tempering process called annealing.    Step 2: After the figurine is removed from our annealing oven it is thoroughly inspected by the artist who makes certain that all internal stresses have been removed from the glass and that its surfaces have been properly vitrified.   Step 3: Finally, it’s time for careful packaging in not one, but two cartons. Both are filled with shock absorption materials.   The sculpture itself is firmly held in place inside the internal carton so as to prevent movement.  Loose fill between the two cartons guards against shock and the external box protects against obvious damage.   Our Guaranty: If for any reason you are unhappy with the quality of any piece of art from Prochaska Galleries, simply return it for a full refund or replacement. Item must be returned within 7 days. Return shipping will be paid by customer. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
