Inspired by the simplicity and singularity of the antique Georgian glassware collection belonging to Simon’s godfather and renowned artist, Patrick Scott, Ascutney’s handblown stemware is classic stemware, reimagined. Perfectly proportioned. Always handcrafted. 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.
