This isn’t your average mini bud vase. There’s a mystical quality surrounding our now-signature Crystalline pottery – namely, the accidental origins of the labor-intensive artisan glazing technique that reveals it enigmatic effect only to masters of the craft. This in mind, these ceramic bud vases are sure to make a meaningful and unique gift. 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.
