The .38 Special Sculpture takes the visual language of a classic sidearm and translates it into solid, hand-sculpted glass with disarming elegance. Rendered life-size in dense gold-brown glass, each piece is built up from multiple gathers and hot-worked details—barrel, grip, trigger, and chamber emerging through careful shaping and tooling rather than casting. The result is a “weapons-grade” object that feels simultaneously iconic and subversive, more artifact than armament.
This sculpture lives comfortably on a shelf, plinth, or desk, inviting a second look at themes of power, play, and design. It’s a conversation piece for collectors who appreciate both technical mastery and conceptual edge.
Approximate Dimensions: 6" x 2" x 6"
Please Note: Each .38 Special Sculpture is individually hand-shaped in hot glass, resulting in subtle variations in proportion, detail, and surface character that speak to its artisan origin. While your piece will be true to the life-size profile and color of the original design, expect nuanced differences—each sculpture is solely its own.
