I chose this one because it did not require tweaking and the chess set is totally handmade. The board is fused glass and each chess piece was created by flameworking glass. The artist said it took him about 20 hours to make the chess pieces.I'm posting an enhanced photo below of the completed set but only because the chess set should be seen in its entirety to fully appreciate. It is an incredible piece of craftsmanship and art.
Until next time, God bless.

That is a beautiful chess set, that board is remarkable. I just can't imagine all the work that went into making that, incredible craftsmanship.
Absolutely gorgeous!

I was in the last coldworking class yesterday at the glass studio when a customer brought the set in. We all were so amazed.
If you are not familiar with flameworking glass, a torch is used to form the object on a mandrel from glass rods.
