The U.S. Presidential Seal Carved in Glass by Sans Soucie Art Glass Studios, Inc.
Sans Soucie Art Glass Studios, Inc, was selected to create a carved glass representation of the United States presidential seal for the new aircraft carrier, The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77).
The seal is hand-carved in three dimensions on a 1/2” thick 28” wide x 46” tall piece of Starphire® clear glass.
This impressive design is finished with the signature of 41st president, George H.W. Bush just beneath it and illuminated by LED edge lighting to give it an authoritative presence.
The piece is now on display in the entrance of the Tribute Room, where photographs and biographical information about George H.W. Bush are arrayed to honor the namesake of the ship.
Named after the nation’s 41st president, The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) is the 10th and final Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. This revolutionary ship with its numerous improvements and modernizations will pave the way to a new class of carriers. We are honored to be a part of this significant piece of our nation’s Naval fleet.

Glass Doors for Al Davis, Raiders Football Team Owner
Glass Doors, also called all glass or frameless doors undoubtedly create a very “high-end” or upscale look to any entry, whether it be for a home or place of business, and with the unlimited glass designs we create at Sans Soucie Art Glass, we believe that a number of the all glass doors we’ve been commissioned to create over the years have been some our most exquisite work.

One beautiful entry that comes to mind is the glass doors and all glass entry we were commissioned to create for the “The Raiders” football team owner, Mr. Al Davis. Custom designed for his home in the Coachella Valley, each door is a towering 10′ tall x 5′ wide and were etched and carved with a custom design to provide privacy, while at the same time, making a very personal statement!
The design features the Oakland Raiders football team logo front and center, and is bordered with two different etched and sculpture carved custom glass textures made up of wavy lines and a “glass chunks”. The background areas of the entire glass surface was solid frosted or etched, to obscure the glass and create privacy. There are two sets of sidelites, the first set butting up against each glass door, with the borders from the doors continuing all around. The second set of sidelite windows are about 18″ away from the doors on either side and feature a solid etched glass image of the infamous Super Bowl Trophy.
Visit our online Gallery of Glass Doors to view this and many other examples of framelsss, all glass doors. You can also visit our Custom Glass Logo Gallery to see dozens of custom corporate logos we’ve been commissioned to etch and carve in glass such as the U.S. Presidential Seal, The U.S. Marine Corp Seal, The Cheesecak Factory, all glass doors for Johnson & Johnson, Metropolitan Theatres, The Palm Springs International Airport, The Beer Hunter and The City of Palm Desert.

Sans Soucie Art Glass Studios was recently selected to carve the United States Marine Corps seal, for installation inside the Officers Club at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.
The 36″ diameter seal is deep carved on the front side of a 1/2″ thick clear, tempered glass panel. The panel is installed as a wall art piece, using stand-off posts and is spot lit from the ceiling.
The panel was delivered and installed by Sans Soucie glaziers in July 2009 and is now proudly on display inside the officers club.
The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), also known as 29 Palms, Twentynine Stumps or simply the “Stumps”, is the largest U.S. Marine Corps base in the country. Its located adjacent to the city of Twentynine Palms in southern San Bernardino County, California. Twentynine Palms has a reputation within the Marine Corps for its relative desolation and isolation, due to the harsh desert climate and the remote nature of the base. As of the year 2000 census, the base had a total population of 8,413. The base was first established in 1949.
