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.
