Heady glass

Heady glass pieces refer to elaborately worked, high end functional glass water pipes and bongs that are not mass produced, but rather individually crafted by master glassblowers. While totally functional smoking devices, heady glass creations are valued and appreciated first and foremost for their intricate artistry and custom design details. Unlike factory made production pieces, each heady glass rig or bong is an original, one-of-a-kind work of functional glass art. The most talented glassblowers continually push their craft forward by developing distinctive heady glass styles, techniques and aesthetic forms. Because of their bespoke nature, owners will often proudly display heady glass when not in active use to showcase the artistry, only breaking them out on special occasions. Although expensive, costing anywhere from several hundred dollars to many thousands depending on complexity and maker notoriety, heady glass consumption represents the pinnacle for cannabis enthusiasts. For many glass aficionados, the visual beauty, rarity and individuality alone make these showstoppers worth the investment, even beyond their underlying utility as an impeccably-crafted smoking instrument.
