The Vela Conical Tree captures the stillness of ice in glass. A constellation of fine bubbles glimmers throughout its conical silhouette, reflecting the beauty of starlit winter skies. Sleek and modern, it offers striking contrast beside more classic forms. At Simon Pearce, fine glassware is still hand-blown in the traditional style. Simon Pearce opened his first glassblowing shop in 1971 in Kilkenny, Ireland. Ten years later, the factory was moved to Quechee, Vermont, where it remains today. The Ottauquechee River provides clean, hydroelectric power for the facility. All Simon Pearce items are proudly made in the U.S.A.
