Add a fresh new texture to your grove. Here, we took our signature handmade tree and carefully shocked the hot glass in cool water to create a delicate crackle effect. Get the full effect of this nuanced design by illuminating from below with an LED. 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.
