A little Patricia Breen history for you: It was in just two rooms and a bathtub that Patricia Breen Designs got their start. Patricia Breen and her husband, Eric Shaikewitz, went to Poland after college to give help and support to local businesses. They now make their home t and create these beautiful handmade glass ornaments in the old Eastern European tradition. Breen comes up with the ideas and Shaikewitz sculpts the models. The molds are limited to 2000 pieces, and many ornaments are much more exclusive than that. At the autumn (very limited!) signings, Breen introduces a few pieces exclusively designed for each "signing" store. From the very fine glitter to the detail in the painting, expressive eyes, and the embellishments, t is no escaping the fact that these ornaments are works of art. Living in Poland, the couple searched for Polish glass for their collection and to give as gifts. They found the old pieces of glass were quite beautiful, but the quality of the new glass ornaments that were being produced was poor and mass-produced. Breen became interested in designing ornaments and working with the glass factories. Unfortunately, the glass factories were not really interested in working with someone that wanted quality instead of quantity. This turned out to be fortunate for collectors, as Breen and Shaikewitz went to work producing their own glass ornaments and now make their home in Poland. Breen sold her first few pieces to the St. Louis Art Museum, and the next year the ornaments were introduced to the rest of the country in the 1995 Neiman Marcus catalog. Today the ornaments are still carried in select Neiman Marcus stores, as well as their catalogs along with a limited number of retailers across the country. And t we are, graced with her works of art. Happy bidding and thank you for taking a look! Please email me before bidding if you have any questions.
