Each piece of Ember glass is handcrafted by artisans in the hills of western New York.
The molds we use to make our designs are created by local woodworkers and welders.
We source sustainable materials that can be broken down or recycled where ever possible.
Our Story Begins with . . .
Launched in 2020 by designer and glass maker, Ross A. Delano; Ember Unlimited brings you unparalleled designed objects to enrich your spaces. Each light is created by artisans in New York State and built using quality materials sourced from regional companies. Ember is committed to creating products that limit their impact on the natural environment and therefore strives to use materials and packaging that can easily be recycled or re-utilized.
