Simon Pearce Glassware - Simon Pearce works solely in clear glass, some say the most difficult medium possible.
While color can camouflage a multitude of flaws, every element from raw materials to the tools being used must be perfect for true clarity to be achieved.
In modern factories, traditional glassblowing skills have long since been replaced by assembly line production, based on speed and uniformity.
Today at Simon Pearce, glassblowing is still done as it would have been done 200 years ago. The glass is made by employing the traditional skills of the old European studios. Each piece is made and finished by one person and an assistant. As a result, the glass has its own distinct, individual character.
