Each 16 oz glass features a custom, intricately detailed gold-tone Nantucket Lightship Basket emblem. This limited-edition series was created by Val D’Ambrosio, a master jeweler (North Bennet Street School graduate), diamond cutter, and the longtime President of the Nantucket Lightship Basket Makers & Merchants Association. D'Ambrosio hand-carved the original model mold for the metal baskets and personally affixed them to custom-blown cobalt glass utilizing a specialized, permanent glass adhesive.
Production of this highly sought-after pattern completely ceased in 1995, making these surviving pieces a finite, investment-grade New England treasure. Ideal for a luxury coastal estate, high-end bar cart display, or holiday tablescape.
