We offer the largest single selection with the most exceptional and important designs. All our glass is vintage; made circa 1920-70 and long out of production. All our glass is hand-blown; made entirely by hand using blowpipes and shaping tools including hand-carved wood molds. It is made by teams of skilled workers, each performing a specialized task. The process takes place in a small artisanal factory.
