When a Chihuly is out of reach, don't let a desire for fine glass art go unsatisfied. At Vetri, the selection of studio glass artists
is extensive and the work is exquisite. The gallery prides itself on showcasing innovative work at accessible prices, and on this promise
they truly deliver. The handpicked artists come from all over the world and exhibit a range of styles. There are fun pieces such as the
series of glass hats (each with its own metal hat stand) by Brian Benno, the kitschy Mexican icon inspired pieces by Einar and Jamex De
La Torre, and Robert Miller's brilliant blown glass ducks. Vetri also carries traditional items, such as vases, bowls, and jewelery -
all unique, and with a high art ethic. Stand outs include Nancy Callan's Genie Lamps, murrine cups by Campagnol & Salvadore, and the
deco inspired, kiln formed, flat cast glass creations of Doug Randall. |

businesses, and has become one of Seattle's premier attractions. Nine million visitors (including many celebrities) come to the Market
each year to buy fresh produce, flowers, dine at the superb restaurants, and browse the shops and craft stalls. Market Heritage Tours
are available Wednesday through Sunday at the Market Heritage Center, and are an excellent introduction to Pike Place Market. Gift Certificates
