Michael Edward Cohn(American, b.1949); Molly Stone (American, b. 1950)
Michael Cohn and Molly Stone are internationally acknowledged by museums, corporate and private collections for their unique sculptural works of art. Since 1972, the works of Cohn and Stone have been exhibited in the USA, Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, the Soviet Union, and Japan.
Michael and Molly met through their common interest and involvement in the glass arts and have maintained a commitment to the design as well as the hands-on production of each individual piece of glass.
Every piece is signed and dated personally by the artists assuring the highest standard of quality. Cohn-Stone produce a wide variety of functional forms in hand-blown art glass: vases, bowls, paperweights and perfume bottles.
