Ne’Qwa Art

Although we often consider the Ne’Qwa Art line as ornaments, they are actually considered home decor by many as many designs are found gracing desks, mantels and other favorite places in the home and office. Featuring licensed art by some of the world’s top artists, Ne’Qwa artists create every design by using hte centuries-old tradition of painting on the inside of mouth-blown glass. An artist signature and the Ne’Qwa logo are etched into the glass to authenticate every piece. Each piece comes in a satin-lined velour wooden case that tells the gift recipient that this is a very special gift. Many well-known artists are associated with Ne’Qwa and their art may be found on different gifts within the Ne’Qwa line. These artist include:

  • Peggy Abrams
  • Thomas Blackshear
  • Paul Brent
  • For Giving Souls
  • JoAnn George

  • Diane Knott
  • Barbara Lavallee

Christopher Radko

Named the “Czar of Christmas Present” by the New York Times, Christopher Radko creates sparkling designs for all of enjoy. Inspired by childhood memories, Christopher’s fine European glass ornaments and time-honored holiday decorations encompass over 21 years of exquisite workmanship. Handcrafted details, as well as both unusual AND traditional designs, are part of the heirloom beauty of Christopher’s collection.

It’s not wonder that folks buy these ornaments as heirloom gifts…we’ll betting they will be! Although our collection is quite small, especially when compared to all of the styles available, we hope that you’ll find that perfect treasure within this collection.

Rhyn-Rivet Collection

Each limited edition procelain piece is created by Catherine Rhyner. Each ornament is individually handcrafted and carefully decorated to create a one-of-a-kind look. Once you see a Rhyn-Rivet Collection ornament, you will remember it as they are very unusual. “Catherine Rhyner is the creative energy behind Rhyn-Rivet’s unique porcelains. It was Catherin’s love and fascination with her great grandmother’s Christmas ornaments, along with her deep respect for fine craftsmanship, that inspired and motivated her to creat The Rhyn-Rivet Collection, Inc. Now headquartered in rural southern Wisconsin, Catherine spent her childhood in Japan where she was introduced to certamics by a local artisan. As an adult, Catherine took her childhood love of clays and painting to new levels. She explored many processea dn techniques, discovering her chosen medium that led her to found The Rhyn Rivet Collection, Inc. In the spring of 1999, Marilea Groves joined Catherine as lead artist for the colleciton. Marilea creates beautiful, original art and unique arabesque shapes that now impart the colleciton’s sophisticated style.”
