This small lead crystal graham cracker crust looks like a real tart shell. You'll have to touch it to be sure. This glass tart shell is 2.75 inches (about 7cm) in diameter including the scalloped edges, and about 1/2 inch (13mm) high. The opening is about 2.25" wide at the top. It is the perfect size to use as a display dish for a small glass berry sculpture collection. You can fit about 3 large berries such as cherries or blackberries, or 5 or 6 medium berries such as raspberries, or up to a dozen small items such as blueberries.
Each little crust is detailed in color and texture on both sides. Your pie shell may include imperfections such as crumbled edges or bubbles from when the original graham crust was made. These tiny details make each piece unique and makes them more realistic. No two are exactly the same. Your tart shell will be signed and dated on the bottom.
If you want to create your own collection of berries and see what it would look like inside the graham shell before you purchase, just let me know! I'll be happy to build it and take a picture for you before you decide.
The price of the pie shell alone is $50. You may choose the number and types of berries you want for your display from any of the glass berries shown in my portfolio here on Maker Marketplace. The total price for your display will depend on how many and which kind of berries you select to put inside the shell.
My glass berries are lifelike enough to fool adults at first glance. Never display your glass berries where they could be confused with real fruit. Never put them in your mouth, even for fun, or allow anyone else to do so. Make sure to keep them out of the reach of children of any age.
Your order will be carefully packaged with biodegradable plant fiber batting inside 100% recycled paper gift boxes with red stretch bows.

About Me:
I have been working with glass for about thirty years in total, and have made my living as a glass sculptor and jewelry designer for the last fifteen years.
About My Work:
My current work focuses on lifelike fruits and berries which I make from glass in the flame of a torch. I sell the glass berries as sculpture as single pieces or in customized groupings, and I also incorporate them into unique jewelry pieces, often custom-designed for individual clients.
The jewelry designs can range from very simple pendants and earrings to complex statement pieces. Take a look at my Custom and Quick Order listings to get some ideas of what can be done. I would love to design a custom piece just for you.
My Business:
My work is also available for purchase around the United States at major glass and art galleries, and my pieces have found homes in private collections all over the world. I also do business under the name GlassBerries.

For Raspberry Necklace With Glass Berry And Leaf Cluster, Adjustable Length.I know it will be perfect! From my two other necklaces, I can hardly wait for my twin to open the box and see her delight of the raspberry necklace! I already know she has received it...and I've asked her to wait until I can be there. Ms. Johnson's necklace is not only beautiful, you know she is such an amazing artist with her creative details!

For Realistic Glass Blackberry NecklaceRe: Elizabeth Johnson, Working with Elizabeth was a pleasure and timely, reflected in my ratings. But her work is what I am considering here, for the most part. My wife, on receiving her Blueberry Necklace from me, asked me weather it will stain her blouse when she puts in on. But truly- this necklace is just beautiful!!! Mitch Schmidt

For Glass Blueberry Earrings With Cubic ZirconiaIt was a pleasure working with Elizabeth. She made me a beautiful custom set of earrings and necklace. She was very amenable to any suggestions or alterations that I wanted to make. The set came out just as I imagined and were made and shipped promptly. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend Elizabeth's work as well as working with Elizabeth.

For Glass CherriesI ordered glass cherries from Elizabeth, and she crafted, shipped them, and they arrived within seven days of ordering. Stunning and increadibly realistic. Keep in mind that the photographs come out quite a bit brighter and lighter. The tones of the actual pieces are softer and really beautiful. Definitely recommended!
