Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Spoon Pipe

Easily one of the most complex pieces among the Dragon spoon pipe series from Empire Glassworks, the Dragon Sphere takes advantage of the intricate colors offered by borosilicate dichroic glass and the master glassblowing skills of their designers. It features a black tube with a star-spangled yellow bowl that acts as the dragon’s prized mystical sphere. What goes inside is up to you.

It’s a smaller piece, coming in at 6 inches (15.2 cm) in length and just 5.5 ounces. The material is the same glass NASA uses to make space helmets, which is more than just a cool conversation starter. Each piece is carefully made by hand to ensure the highest quality and appearance.

The creative designs coming from Empire Glassworks took the market by storm in 2013, offering a wide audience the chance to enjoy the unique inventiveness usually found only locally. They’re based in Placentia, California, and limit each design to only a few pieces. If you’ve found something you like, it’s best to go for it before it’s too late!
