Welcome to our new Showroom. The Glasshouse Works recently purchased an old hotel building (small town hotel) and moved our offices to part of the lower floor. There are two floors--a skyscraper by Stewart, Ohio standards! and we have created a showroom for our Home, Conservatory, and Garden items in three of the large old rooms of our new office area. In the links below over the next few months, you will find listed more and more of the items from our Showroom for you to buy on the Internet. Peruse the following items and links for your home and garden needs. This page will show featured items from our various galleries and plant selections each month. We have been bringing in distinctive items from around the world often not found at other shops. In addition to our importations, various of the items we offer are by Ohio craftmen and artists! So take a look. Also, please note just below several featured new rare plants that just arrived! We will let the snow fly for a bit longer during January until we decide that spring is truly on its way.

Our Specialty Listings

New! The Glasshouse Works Commissions from China

Our First commissioned items from China are now here! We have just received a group of twelve Chinese Auspicious Animals! They are sculpted in either marble and granite. We picture three of them just below. We call them "Lucky Beasts." indeed it it difficult to translate directly from the Chinese, but these beasts are a great piece of sculpture for the garden. We are keeping one inside by the fireplace. They traditionally are put in the garden because they are said to give good fortune to the owner and to protect from evil spirits. They are considered great watchers of the home and garden. We have seen these in various forms and different media over the years. The image we had these designed from was from a large incense burner in copper which we saw at the famous "Sun of Heaven" Chinese exhibit 10 years ago. We chose them to be in lasting stone for our gardening friends. Keep this in mind for the fall and winter holiday season. The one foot high size is perfect for the home too. The price is amazing low considering the fact that we had to made to order and they were shipped from just outside Beijing!

15116 THE AUSPICIOUS ANIMAL $ 295.00 These have finally arrived. Our first commission in marble and granite from China. These are also called "Lucky Beasts." We sent the photo of what we had seen and said to create a garden piece for our customers. What came to us has been described as strange, wonderful and adorable. The best part of these is that they are protectors of the garden and traditionally are said to give good fortune to the owner. We have these in black marble, grey granite and green and grey marble. We have only 12. These would be great as a gift either for a friend or yourself. Price on invoice will reflect 30.00 postage.We type the invoice in the office again before charge is made in case our Shopping Cart miscalculates postage slightly.

67088 EUPHORBIA FLANAGANII CRISTATA--ARM CREST EUP HP TGH $ 15.00 "Green Coral Plant" Deep green grooved fans of succulent stems form irregularly hemispherical clusters. Often throws a small "Medusa Head" arm to reveal its origins. Always popular with succulent fanciers as it gradually tumbles over the edges of a small pot; now also popular with dish garden , terrarium, and lite gardeners as well because the compact reduced habit with the wildly crested green coral like cockscombs of tostled foliage lends itself to many staring roles.

42147 IXORA SIAM SNOW RUB HP PRICE: $ 17.00 Highly variegated (spotted) shrublets with paired leathery oval leaves framing the beautiful clusters of pink blossoms. This variegated variety is house culture friendly--not demanding the conservatory conditions of its larger shrub breathren. Like other variegated plants likes good light but not full sun.

14021 NEPHROLEPIS EXALTATA FRINGED VASE POLYP HP PRICE: $ 12.00 "Fringed Vase Boston" This is a new introduction for the Glasshouse Works for Fall of 2008.

Two Paintings by the Washington DC Artist, David Whitehill

Click here to see his full offerings

The Art of David Whitehill

David Whitehill has creates oils and acrylics for forty years. For fear of pinning a title on a painter of as many talents as David Whitehill, his art could be the art of a modern surrealist. But there are so many other angles to this multifacited talent! Mr. Whitehill uses dream images and waking images as the basis for his art. Often a dream will lead to a canvas. Often the canvas will speak to him and the organic image will grandually take hold of the work in progress. All of this is accompanied by fabulous techique and knowledge of the medium. Take a look and consider bying a painting, a work of art, that will grow in value through the years as well as grow in importance.
