Glass Masterpiece Auction
- Reserve
- Details
Artist and car enthusiast, Terri Hohmann, has created an incredible collection of handcrafted, glass fused plaques and signs for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Terri, of North Star Chevrolet Buick GMC, has invested countless hours and materials to create each and every one of these unique pieces. The PVGP is so pleased that Terri has dedicated her time to create these unique masterpieces.
This spring, during the COVID restrictions, Terri Hohmann decided to fill her time doing something for charity. She painstakingly cut hundreds of glass pieces and assembled these items for the PVGP. Each layer had to be fired in her kiln at home and many required more than a dozen firings with each session putting the piece at risk.
Terri not only designed and created these pieces of art, but she also paid for all of the materials and is generously donating all of the proceeds from the sale of these pieces to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and their charity partners.
The PVGP races in Schenley Park have often been referred to as a museum on wheels and these works of art belong in that museum. See the items below, they speak for themselves.

The origin of the Shell name can be traced back to the seashells that Marcus Samuel imported from the Far East during the late 19th Century. When his sons were looking for a name for the kerosene that they were exporting to Asia, they chose Shell.
