Specifically requested custom blown glass commissions…
The world is your oyster!
E. J. Davy created this piece for a space enthusiast who wanted custom blown glass art that reflected his interest. Using the cameo technique, he sandblasted away the outer colored layer to reveal the color beneath. He crafted the stand from mild steel.

This commission aimed to mimic and complement the Japanese-themed mirror frame hanging on the dining room’s accent wall. E. J. Davy used the cameo technique on the interior of the blown glass piece, removing the green glass to expose the red glass beneath. This high-contrast effect highlights the intricate pattern.

The clients for this commission lived in an old Toronto condominium where installing a gas fireplace wasn’t possible. E. J. Davy crafted seventeen impressionistic faux flames, each individually under-lit to create a phenomenal warm mood lighting effect in the room. He mounted the flames on a slab of polished black granite, drilling holes to house the light under each piece. This entire setup was installed into a wall niche to mimic the look of a real fireplace.
Faux Fire Place
Made for a wonderful little restaurant in Prince Edward County called the Milford Bistro. They are solid about supporting local, and as a result the only beverage they had on tap was Waupoos Cider, made only twenty minutes away.

On the left, E. J. Davy designed a pendant light and art piece combination to complement the wall art. He crafted the lamp to spotlight the matching piece below, integrating the stand as both a shelf and a lamp fixture. Made from mild steel and powder-coated black, the stand adds a sleek, modern touch.
On the right, Davy created a set of three pendant lamps that, while unique from one another, pair beautifully. He selected colors to harmonize with both the room’s artwork and its overall palette. The wooden lamp fixture features a clever screw system, allowing it to securely pinch between the floor and ceiling while discreetly concealing the wires.

Pendant Lights
During his earlier years as a bike courier in Toronto, E. J. Davy encountered a colleague with an outrageous idea. When asked to bring the idea to life, he eagerly took on the challenge. Using borosilicate glass, he flameworked these solid glass creations, stepping outside his usual scope of blown glass work. The result was exceptionally clean and polished, showcasing his ability to innovate with unique techniques.
Bicycle Handle Bars, Custom Flamework
A skate and snowboard shop in Vancouver, B.C., commissioned this piece, and E. J. Davy brought their vision to life with a sandcasting technique. This method gave the board a grip-tape texture, ensuring it wouldn’t be slippery. Due to its impressive size—43 inches long—you can clearly see the lines formed by each ladle of glass poured into the sand at the bottom of the mold. In contrast, the underside features a high-gloss, smooth, and shiny finish, adding a striking visual element.

A very cool individual commissioned this unique urn, requesting a clear design to make the ashes visible once filled. To add a striking juxtaposition, E. J. Davy incorporated sculpted glass bones on the exterior, creating a postmodern contrast to the cremated remains it is meant to hold. The result is a bold and meaningful piece that blends transparency with symbolic depth.
