Brown Beach Glass, Beach Brick, and Crystal Suncatcher / Rearview Mirror Hanger

THE ARTIFACT

The brown beach glass and beach brick were reclaimed from the shores of Lake Erie. Each piece is unique. I have hand-wrapped the glass and brick in silver wire and added a faceted crystal globe. Comes with a suction cup.

THE ORIGIN

Deep amber green artifacts typically trace back to early industrial glass—bottles that once held spirits or medicinal bitters. Terracotta artifacts are the weathered fragments of early 20th-century industrial masonry, reclaimed from the submerged ruins of lakeside foundries and coastal homesteads. Forged from Ohio’s iron-rich clay and reclaimed by the rising tides of Lake Erie, these shards have spent decades being sculpted by the surf into soft, sculptural ‘river stones’—a tactile link to the region’s manufacturing heritage.
