 Luxury Shopping: In 1971, Simon Pearce opened his first glassblowing workshop in Ireland, putting to work years of experience in this fine art. Today, more than two decades after moving his company to the U.S., Simon oversees a team of artisans in three factories who adhere to the same time-honored techniques Simon learned in Europe to produce only the finest glass, pottery and home accents. Visitors to the company's combination factory-and-store locations in Vermont, Pennsylvania and Maryland can actually watch the glassblowers at work. Simon Pearce boasts 12 company stores, and also offers its products through a mail-order catalog, online, and at authorized specialty retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue.
Every Simon Pearce product exudes class and elegance. Disdaining the assembly lines used by most modern manufacturers, Simon Pearce still makes its glass and pottery the old-fashioned way, by hand and one at a time, with every piece lovingly crafted by a skilled artisan. In addition to its trademark glass and pottery, Simon Pearce also offers lines of luxury flatware, lighting and home accents, including wooden serving bowls hand-carved in Argentina, baskets hand-woven in Africa, fine table linens, mohair and alpaca wool throw blankets, and linen and silk lampshades.
The Corporate Gifts section has beautiful selections appropriate for every business occasion, including service awards and retirement gifts. Trophies, awards and gifts can be custom-designed to a customer's exact specifications.
