Inspired by the constantly changing Vermont waterways, our master glassblowers nimbly wrap fine strands of glass around a section of this cylindrical vase for a textural juxtaposition to the brilliant clear glass above and below. 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.
