Centerpieces

Our H'Arts 2008 centerpieces are hand-blown glass from the Coquilles series by artist Robert Mitchell. Each centerpiece contains three pieces nested together, which will create a brilliant burst of color on each table. They are
approximately 14" across and come in either a dot or swirl pattern giving them an almost candy-like appearance. Colors include orange, yellow, red, blues, greens, purple, white, and earth tones. Only 40 centerpieces will available at the auction for the exclusive price of $150. Last year our centerpieces sold out before the end of the silent auction, so make sure to arrive early to purchase yours!

More information about glass artist Robert Mitchell is available at www.mitchellartglass.com
