Amia Studios is known for its high caliber of hand-painted glass with designs comparable to the look of fine, leaded stained glass, said John Damron, the firm's president

Damron's Hong Kong-based partner, Amia Li, supervises administration, design and production at Amia.

To ensure the quality of its products, Amia manufactures its own glass. It is the only company using "ripple glass," a natural surface textured glass that has a gentle rolling wave appearance similar to cathedral glass. Ripple glass has a majestic appearance. Once produced, the glass is painted by hand with the world's highest-quality paints.

This attention to design and craftsmanship continues in the production of every Amia glass product. "The real work starts with creating our extensive variety of designs," says Damron. Amia glass giftware is created by licensed artists and skilled studio artisans, with an emphasis on authenticity of design, carefully selected colors and manufacturing details.
