Why We Love Simon Pearce Glass (And Why Our Customers Do Too).

If you’ve ever picked up a piece of Simon Pearce glassware and thought, “This just feels special,” you’re not imagining it. One of the things we love most about Simon Pearce is that every piece of hand-blown glass has a story — and it’s a story customers genuinely enjoy hearing.

Nothing at Simon Pearce is mass-produced; it is truly made the old-fashioned way. Inspired by traditional Georgian glassmaking techniques, Simon Pearce glass is still hand-blown today, just as it has been for centuries. Each piece begins as molten, glowing hot glass that skilled artisans shape by hand — blowing, turning, and refining it until it feels just right. Because of this process, no two glasses are the same, and that individuality is part of what makes artisan glassware so special.

Made in America.

Another thing customers really connect with is where Simon Pearce is made. Most Simon Pearce glassware and pottery are crafted in Vermont and Maryland, in active studios where artisans remain at the center of the production process.

If you’ve ever visited their Quechee, Vermont location and watched the glassblowers in action, you know — it’s mesmerizing. If you haven’t, it’s a perfect field trip idea for the whole family. There’s something reassuring about knowing exactly where your American-made glassware comes from and that real people made it with care.

Everyday Pieces You’ll Actually Use.

While Simon Pearce is well known for their holiday trees, what we see people reach for most are the everyday glassware and tableware essentials like; water and juice glasses, wine, whiskey, and cocktail glasses, Pitchers, bowls, and serving pieces you’ll pull out again and again. These are the pieces customers come back to buy more of. They’re designed for daily use, not just on special occasions, and they fit effortlessly into real life.

Why They Make Incredible Gifts.

Simon Pearce is one of our go-to recommendations for wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, and new home gifts, and here’s why- Wedding & Anniversary Gifts: Hand-blown glassware sets are always a favorite — especially champagne flutes, and wine glasses. They feel celebratory, timeless, and meaningful. New Home Gifts: A set of everyday glasses, a pitcher, or a serving bowl is both practical and thoughtful, helping a new house feel like home right away. Milestone Gifts: These are gifts people keep. Years later, customers come back and tell us, “We still use these every single day.” There’s something special about gifting something that becomes part of someone’s everyday life instead of sitting on a shelf.
