About Me: Based out of Westchester NY, Captain Hook Glass Art has been producing quality custom glass since 2017. My name is Brandon, and I graduated from Stony Brook University and pursued my dream of making functional glass.
Being an avid glass collector, I was frustrated not only at the unprofessionalism, but how difficult it was to contact, order, get information, and support my favorite artists. I am happy and proud to offer the largest selection of modular, function focused custom tubes in the world. I am aiming to provide a simple, and straightforward user experience in customizing your glass with prompt customer service through E-Mail.
Color Charts, FAQ, and the how to choose page I believe will help many people find which type of tubes are best for them. With thousands of happy customers across the globe, I am proud and honored to continue to make function focused glass art for people to enjoy.
Discreetly packaged, and secure shipping.
Prices are in USD.

Borosilicate glass comes naturally with air bubbles, among other “Imperfect” cosmetic issues, meaning each piece is unique. We feel that borosilicate glass should be enjoyed in its raw form with some of its imperfections. For us, this includes tool Marks, sodium flare, small bubbles, and vertical bubbles when they cannot be removed or is a concept piece. However, most of the glass used in general does have something cosmetic somewhere, and we will not sandblast them to cover the “flaws”. Made and dreamed by a human, and made for functional purposes first, nothing is meant to be perfect.
