Paul Insect • Sweetie Jar • Avant Arte

What do you think of the new Paul Insect Sweetie Jar? Being released by Avant Arte. Is that price correct? I would have thought that's a bit cheap?

Here is a video from Paul Insect showing how the Sweetie Jar is made. As you can see 😳 a serious amount of skills and time goes into each one of these.

It sort of reminds me of 1970s glass fish that your nan would have on her window sill but if you had dropped a tab before going to see her. I’m guessing that’s just me.

Italian company called Murano made those, also similar to the glass clowns they made, quite like the clowns though , reminds me of being a child, used to be on every mantle piece.

love this, and a nice size at 18", love these and the invader pieces. No more wall space for framed, but can always add more shelves!

Hi all! Murano is not a company, but a place near Venezia where there is much craftsmanship working glass

Huge fan of Paul Insect and his work generally but gotta say, these do absolutely nothing for me - at any price.

I think there would have been more interest if he did a piece with the collaged faces he’s known for.

I received my Sweetie Jar yesterday - 2 issues but only one I would like your input on. They are not signed or numbered, am I being fussy by thinking they should be or not?

Hi, did the Sweetie Jar come with a COA? Is the COA signed and numbered?

Hi - Yes absolutely, it came in a magnificent box also! But part of me feels it should be signed and numbered just like any other limited edition, as it stands there is no identifying my sweetie jar from another and we all like the thought of the artist being involved at the end.

If the piece is made out of genuine Murano glass (so from Murano) I wouldn't worry too much. Having done the factory tours there and seen the prices they charge for a 'normal' vase (in the 1000s), I'd be more inclined to search for a made in Italy/Murano reference.

Blurb says "Paul Insect collaborated with a Dutch foundry" does this change your opinion at all?

Oooooo any Netflix Blown Away fans here? I’d only buy this if Deborah Czeresko worked with Paul Insect
