Stewart Boxes
Robert Stewart is an award-winning, internationally-recognized
master glass artist, using the centuries old process of
grinding, polishing and engraving glass and is one of the
few artists left performing the art form of hand beveling
glass. He designs each piece to play with light and create
a brilliant optical effect, which is why his process begins
with beveling the glass. The glass is hand ground and hand
polished on ancient wheels that he maintains and preserves.
Once the glass is finished, he begins to build the piece,
bending and cutting the metals by hand. All of these techniques
combine to create unique, prismatic glass boxes, heralded
around the world for their artistic excellence. His pieces
are in private collections, given as diplomatic gifts, in
museum exhibits and one piece is on permanent display outside
the Oval Office in the White House. Popov's is proud to
display this Midwestern artist's fabulous Stewart Boxes.
