Vintage Green Parfait Glass
Price: $ 90 (set of 6)

These may be vaseline glass, which is a particular color of yellow-green glass that is made by adding 2% Uranium Dioxide to the ingredients when the glass formula is made. You can test for the uranium dioxide by placing the glass under an ultraviolet light (blacklight). If it is true vaseline glass it will turn a bright florescent green. I don’t have a backlight so I could not do the test, but either way they are still great depression era pressed glass.

Prints

Silkscreen, Stencil, Woodblock, Lithograph, Letterpress

There is nothing like a handmade fine art print or poster to put a smile on your face. Your wallet won’t take a beating and framed properly your friends will think you are a serious art collector. And you are. Our prints are all handmade by individual artists and design studios around the country. We have a range of singed and number limited editions prints, along with un-number prints to suit every interest. We collect prints we believe will become more valuable over time and represent a range of messages, styles, and geographies and of course a touch of the hand. All prints are slightly different and colors may vary because of the printing process.

Contact us for pricing, we will ship anywhere.

Evidence of a Handmade World

As curious collectors, Eli Phant and his wife Ella travel the globe collecting evidence of a handmade world– a world of creativity and ingenuity which exists everywhere, but which many people don’t even realize is there. A world where work and play intertwine and are sometimes indistinguishable, and where beauty and function are on friendly terms. This world is all around us, believe it or not, even now– you just need to look for it.

Exploring the studios, workshops and homes of crafters and artists, Eli and Ella document this fantastical world and bring back to Maine the objects, works of art, and inspirations they find in their journeys. In Portland, their good friends Peter Eiermann & Sally Struever manage the retail storefront and gallery which displays their collections.

Eli Phant opened in May of 2008 on Portland’s East End. We will soon be featuring monthly gallery shows, collections of designer products, and as always a sampling of our favorite finds.
