Roger Gandelman (born 1952)[1] is a Connecticut-based glass blower. His focus has been creating contemporary, elegant, hand blown art glass perfume bottles, paper weights and memorial keepsake cremation urns. He specializes in floral designs and faceted pieces that have been appreciated by many art glass collectors, galleries, and museums. His Branford, Connecticut studio is called West Rock Art Glass. He opened his studio in 1974.[1]

Glass art style

About his glass art Gandelman said, "I see perfume bottles as small, elegant treasures; made to be turned, touched, and relished. I strive to make the form organic, smooth, and familiar, with very few sharp angles. The lip is simple and unobtrusive. The interior decoration adds life, movement, and dimension to the piece."[2]
