Swan Boat Sun Catcher

About This Item

The Swan Boats are a fleet of pleasure boats operating on the lake of the Boston Public Garden. The boats have been operating since the 1870s, and have become a cultural icon for the city of Boston.

Anne C. Ross Glass, a division of Pairpoint Glass, is located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where each piece is handcrafted by the artist. Mrs. Ross sifts her design onto pieces of glass. By the use of a series of hand-cut stencils, she accurately reproduces her delicate designs. Once decorated, another piece of glass is placed atop the first, and the piece is placed upon a ceramic mold and fired to 1500 degrees in a kiln. After cooling overnight, each piece is ground, cleaned and individually signed by Anne C. Ross.
