Had a buddy say he thinks a J Baker artist may be responsible for this beauty. All I know is mid-late 90’s out of Cali. It’s tall, at roughly 3’6”. Any ideas?? TIA

Enjoying making these rigs.

10/90 joint

Bought this in 2001 for $700. Was said to be the last pipe he made before going into more mainstream glass making. It's not signed...I did reach out to him via Facebook a few years ago and he confirmed that it is his work. I do have screenshots of that conversation in Messenger...as I'm admittedly on the noobier side of redditors lol, idk how to post both a video and some pics.

I was in a pretty bad car accident not too long ago, finances aren't great...hate to see it go but times have been tough. And also I'd really like to see I go to that loves it as much as I did when I got a ton of use out of it ~25 years ago. That said, it's in PRISTINE condition. Have always kept it clean when not in use for extended periods, and it 'lives' in a nice little pillow-pouch that it came with.

Again-novice/noobish redditor here. Hit me up with any questions, want more pics, etc. I'm Dave. Any reasonable offer will be considered.

Cheers

Bio I found of him at: https://www.salemcc.edu/library/glass-resource-center

Jesse Taj Karolczuk was raised in beautiful Humboldt County, Calif., home of the majestic redwood trees, and returned to live and work there. "Taj," as many people know him, began working with glass in 1994 in Eugene, Ore., using the flame-work or torch-work technique.
His art includes themes such as butterflies, ocean life, magic, and mysticism. Taj's flame-sculpted murrine canes have been embraced by collectors worldwide, including the permanent exhibition at the Palazzo Rota Museum in Venice, Italy. Murrine are cross sections of a glass cane that contain the same image throughout its length usually depicting abstract designs, floral patterns, animals and even portraits of famous figures. The art of murine-making goes back at least 2500 years when the Egyptians created murrine canes that are unrivalled to this day. Jesse uses these miniature designs as subject matter in most of his work, primarily paperweights and marbles. In 2003, Jesse Taj created at the request of fellow artists Paul Stankard and Lucio Bubacco special murrine canes depicting their signatures in glass.

Just sharing my two daily caps that continue to impress me.

I’ve owned, then broken 4 caps by Mark Andrews. They’re great but they break easily. Power Pat’s caps look amazing, function the best (that I’ve tried), and they’re unbelievably durable. The crushed opal/clear you see here, has been abused.

Dropped onto my garage floor which I’ve never had a cap survive, numerous other hard hits. It’s been the cap that has survived 2 spills, the toro grail broke the opal bub cap.. perfect. (Toro grails break way too easily around the rim, it’s ridiculous).

Such a great investment if you consistently dab rosin/high end extras.

I’m a little bias because I’ve only used power pat caps the past few years so I’m very curious - what’s your go to? why? and what did you spend?

These costed $450 each, opal is 25mm and green is a 30mm.
