The History of Orient and Flume Art Glass
Orient & Flume is renowned the world over for creating breathtaking art glass creations. Their paperweights, vases and sculptures are prized by collectors worldwide for their beauty and unique sense of style.
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 artist Douglas Boyd purchased a historic carriage house and transformed it into an art glass studio. By 1973 the business had grown too large for the small carriage house and it was 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. Over time this evolved into their current creations of three dimensional designs within clear glass. This eye-catching effect is part of what makes Orient & Flume vases and paperweights such valuable collectibles.
Artists Bruce Sillars, Chris Sherwin, Richard Braley, Scott Beyers and William Carter work individually and collaboratively to create the captivating works of art produced at Orient and Flume. While most Orient & Flume creations do loosely adhere to a common theme, each artist has the freedom to add their own individual touch.
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.
