Orient & Flume Art Glass Paperweights & Vases
Orient & Flume was founded in 1972 and was named for its location between Orient Street and Flume Street in Chico, California. It was here that Douglas Boyd purchased a small historic carriage house and transformed it into an art glass studio. By 1973 the business had grown too large for the location and relocated to Park Avenue where it remains to this day. The studio's early creations centered on recreating the iridescent glass pieces made famous by such art glass companies as Tiffany, Steuben and Loetz. The quality of their work quickly made their vases, paperweights and other art glass items very popular with collectors. In later years they began to focus on creating three dimensional designs within clear glass. Artists Bruce Sillars, Jeff Howell, Richard Braley, Scott Beyers and William Carter work individually and collaboratively to create their captivating works of art. While most of their creations do loosely adhere to a common theme, each artist has the freedom to add their own individual touch. Orient and Flume's current creations consist of not only vases and paperweights but animal, vegetable and fruit sculptures as well as jewelry.
The art glass creations of Orient & Flume can be found in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Metropolitan Museum, the Chrysler Museum and the Corning Glass Museum as well as in private collections and galleries worldwide.
