About this Artist

Nicholas Kekic

"I think of glass as a liquid that is frozen to room temperature in a controlled and sometimes precarious balancing act of heat, gravity, timing and human intervention."

Nicholas Kekic is a third generation glassmaker. His grandfather was an industrial glassmaker and his father was a founder of the American studio art glass movement. Within this family environment, Kekic's appreciation for handmade objects and the process of their creation was nurtured.

Kekic's designs capture the fluidity of glass and its unique relationship with light. Like his father and grandfather before him, he is most satisfied by making glass pieces that are beautiful and useful.

Delighted!
I already have 1 set of Squarbles which cause me to smile when I look at them. I purchased this set as a gift for someone who had admired mine. Each Squarble had a different color combination and slightly different shape to the canework. Just delightful!

Squarbles score!
I'm using the Squarbles as small paperweights in my office; a delight to look, hold, and functional, too.

Love this product but pricey.
These are a unique and beautiful display that I gave a friend as an office gift. They're great for display on a desk, on shelves. Great conversation piece, and to put an artsy touch into a small space.

Loved them!
I bought these as a Christmas gift for my husband (hard to find something unique for "the man who has everything"). He loved them! He immediately wanted to know if there were more colors available.If they were available in a different set of colors/designs, I would definitely purchase a 2nd set.

Alternative Art Marbles
A clever approach to art marbles, they look great in display or as part of a marble collection.

Fun!
Great as a paperweight on a desk and to encourage passers-by to stop and chat while they play with the squabbles.

Loves it!
I bought these for an attorney friend as a going away present and she loved them! The only problem is that she wants to put them in her hand and rattle them like dice!

The photo clearly represents the product
One side of each piece is a little less smooth but I just make sure that side is face down.THEY ARE ADORABLE. I WOULD LOVE MORE. MAYBE EVEN A BIGGER SIZE.THEY ARE LIKE SQUARE MARBLES-VERY UNIQUE

Not enough color variety
I ordered 6 squarebles and 3 of them were of the same color palette so they were virtually identical. For the price, one would think that a more varied color selection would be provided.

Squarbles
I ordered two sets. They are nice, but half of them are virtually identical having the same color combinations. I would think that each set of three would be different so I am a little disappointed in the assortment.

"If quartz crystals could whisper..."
When I first saw these, I thought, "If quartz crystals could whisper, THIS is what it would look like!" Squarbles are wonderful, colorful...and chunky in just the right way. I love 'em! Suggestion: sell them by the dozen in a vintage "ice cube tray". I wish I could have every color combination available. Make more! Make more! :-)

Perfect Conversation Piece
I bought these to use as a small decoration on our bar. They add the perfect amount of color, are a great conversation starter. They also do not overpower the other crystal barware pieces or make the bar look too clunky/cluttered.They are semi-regularly 'bumped' over but have yet to scratch (either the Squarbles or the bar).A bit pricey for what you get/the size, but they served the purpose that I needed them for. So other than a more 'friendly' price, I would say they are just perfect for our home.

Unique, playful and joyful.
I purchased the Sqaurbles as a Mother's Day gift for my sister. I wanted to give her something unique, joyful and full of color to represent the joy and color she has given to the world through her children. She loved the Squarbles and placed them on the ledge of her favorite window that is always in the sun light.

Great gift!
There is no guarantee on the general color palate of each Squareble. However, these were a gift and were very well received. They are now placed in a window to catch optimum light...and they look great.

Squarbles are FUN!
I gave a Squarble to my great nephew for his birthday and he loved it -- "How did they do that?" My Mother loves her's, and I am enjoying mine.
