Its compact 3\" x 2\" dimensions keep it practical for regular use, while its handmade construction and dimensional glasswork give it the look and feel of a miniature collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFunctional Glass Art from Empire Glassworks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpire Glassworks is known for taking familiar smoking accessories and transforming them into detailed pieces of functional glass art. The Appa Bowl follows that same approach by combining the everyday usefulness of a \u003cstrong\u003e14mm bowl piece\u003c\/strong\u003e with a much more sculptural design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a bowl that does more than simply hold material.

Unlike a mass-produced molded accessory, handmade glass pieces are shaped and finished one at a time, allowing the artist to create the dimensional details that give the piece its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat handcrafted process also means no two bowls will be completely identical. Small differences in shape, color placement, proportions, and finishing details are normal and should be expected.
