Historical Glassworks

Decanters

Coin Banks – Early American

A rare American item, these were manufactured in the mid 19th century in New England.

15th Century Bumper Cups

These 16th century Germanic glasses were made of waldglas (forest glass) and featured unique finger holds.

14th -17th Century Spirits Bottle

Made for storing spirits, especially brandy, these bottles were made almost exclusively in Germany from the beginning of the 14th century all the way into the 17th century.

Animal Shaped Vessels

Vessels in the shapes of animals, food, and other items have been popular since Antiquity. These bottles come from Germany and the Low Countries and date to around the 17th Century.

Cloches (Bell Jars)

Gaining popularity in the 17th century, these vessels were used to cover plants, creating ,mimiature greenhouses.

We create pieces inspired by a range of cultures and time periods, from Ancient Rome to the 18th century. You can find us sharing our craft and love of history at festivals and reenactment events across the US where we present our live glassblowing demonstrations. In addition to our festival events, we make work for museums, films, and for several weeks a year we join other historical glassmakers at experimental archeology projects at museums in Germany, Belgium, and the UK at historical wood-fired glassblowing furnaces.
