The Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide is a 14mm male borosilicate glass bowl piece hand-crafted to resemble a dragon fruit in full detail. Empire Glassworks makes each slide individually by hand in their California studio, meaning no two Dragon Fruit slides are identical in exact color distribution or fine detail. The bowl uses a single-hole or funnel-style design and fits any 14mm female joint water pipe or bong. Available at Angie's Boutique, the authorized Empire Glassworks dealer in Los Angeles.

Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide – California Art Glass for Your Bong
Empire Glassworks has built a reputation as one of the most prolific art glass studios in California. Their bowl pieces are designed to do two things equally well: look remarkable on the shelf and work flawlessly in daily use. The Dragon Fruit Slide captures the vivid pink and green of a ripe dragon fruit in borosilicate glass, with the characteristic exterior scaling and bright pink flesh color rendered in flameworked detail.
The 14mm male joint fits the vast majority of water pipes sold today — most bongs use a 14mm female joint, making this slide a direct drop-in upgrade from a standard clear bowl. Each piece is hand-crafted individually by Empire Glassworks artists, so the exact color gradient and detail varies slightly from the product photo — this is a feature, not a defect.

Using & Caring for Your Empire Glassworks Slide

- Light the edge of the bowl while drawing slowly; corner the bowl to extend the pack
- Clean weekly: soak in 91%+ isopropyl alcohol for 15–30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water
- Avoid thermal shock — don't place a hot bowl in cold water; let it cool before cleaning

Common Questions
Will the Dragon Fruit Slide I receive look exactly like the product photo?
Not exactly. Each Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide is hand-crafted individually, meaning the color gradient, exact scale pattern, and fine detail will vary slightly from the product photo. The design theme — dragon fruit with pink flesh, green exterior scales — will be consistent, but the specific color distribution is unique to each piece. This is a characteristic of authentic hand-crafted art glass, not a quality issue.
What size joint does the Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide fit?
The Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide has a 14mm male joint. It fits any water pipe or bong with a 14mm female joint, which is the most common size on standard bongs. If your piece has an 18mm female joint, you will need a 14mm-male-to-18mm-female adapter, sold separately.
Is the Empire Glassworks Dragon Fruit Slide food-safe and heat-resistant?
Yes. Empire Glassworks uses borosilicate (Pyrex-grade) glass for all slides. Borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, non-porous, and the same material used in laboratory glassware. It handles repeated heating and cooling without degrading or releasing chemicals into your smoke.
