Long Nose Butterfly Fish glass sculpture

Can you say Lau Wili Wili Nuku Nuku Oi Oi? This is the Hawaiian translation for a long nose butterfly fish. These fish are commonly seen in the Hawaiian waters.

This listing is for a custom made Butterfly Fish. Each piece is made to order by Sean Price from borosilicate (Pyrex) glass, you choose how many fish you'd like. Sean hand sculpts each piece in the flame using no molds, making each piece one of a kind. Because it is handmade each unique piece will vary in shape, color, and size. The photos above show how two sculptures varied.

The fish are made with a hand mixed combination of a reactive color that will vary from light white-yelow tones to an orange-yellow to a pinkish-red. The face and tail are black and the outside of the eye is made with the same mixed color as the body. The fish is then attached to clear seaweed blades.

The finished product is based on sand coral collected on the beaches of Maui (each also one of a kind). The sand coral is painted to replicate the look of black Hawaiian lava. Sean uses his skills and creativity to base the piece in a way that flows together with the glass and the size and shape of the base.

Keep in mind... All bases will vary as they are organically made by nature, no base is ever the same. All glass pieces will vary as mentioned above. No two pieces will be the same. What you see in the above pictures is not exactly how your custom piece will be.

Please allow 6-10 weeks for completion (depending on the size of the piece). Once the piece is complete we will send you digital photos with dimensions to approve. Once approved, we will ship. All glass is guaranteed in travel. If it is damaged in shipping we will repair or replace the damaged piece for free.
