Sometimes we get bored with making the same stuff day after day - just "taking care of business". We want to try something different, something special - just to see what we can do. So we decided to start a series of "Special Issue" projects. These are a kind of very restricted "Limited Edition". Only a very limited few will be made. Sometimes as little as 6. The first one will go into our own private collection, and the remaining few will be offered for sale. The DeBrady Glass Studio's private collection will travel - to be displayed at various shows, exhibitions, and Maritime Museums. Each design is extensively researched and every effort made to make a detailed scale model of the original. Every Special Issue model comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. |
