Jar And Jewel Dining Server Cabinet
As the custom kitchen cabinets were designed, we worked with the cabinet-maker to create stained glass inserts for two units near the dining area. The two cabinets hold dinnerware, glasses and linens, and incorporate appliance storage that opens out onto adjacent counter-top and canned goods storage. Given the kitchen/dining location and the wish to reveal some of the cabinets' content while obscuring appliances, we decided to combine mouth-blown (antique) glass and opalescent glass along with spun rondels, glass jewels, and old canning jar lids into the door panels. An irregular grid pattern serves as a foil for the round objects, resulting in an eye-catching room accent that is both elegant and whimsical.

Paulukonis Studio
We are a husband-wife team who design and create stained glass windows, artful stained glass objects, and functional fused glass for homes, businesses, and public spaces. For more than thirty-five years we have been creating windows, glass panels, and light fixtures tailored to specific sites. Now we also offer kiln-formed glass. We love working with mouth-blown and handmade glass because of its rich beauty, and our delight in the glass is shown through innovative design and excellent fabrication in lead and copper foil techniques as well as fusing and slumping.
Whether you desire an architectural installation, accessories like a lamp or light vessel, a piece of stained glass art for your personal collection, colorful tableware, or a very special gift, we can create something original. Client needs and interests are central to our design and fabrication process. While it is advantageous to discuss a window project before new construction, we also fabricate to fit existing windows.

Excellent! They came to my house to see the room, were right on time, sent me samples of the stained glass and pictures of their design, and delivered and hung the lamp themselves... all for a reasonable price! They were very nice also.
