About Annieglass:

Annieglass is a leader in handcrafted luxury glassware. Made sustainably in their Watsonville studio on California’s central coast, Annieglass captures the beauty of imperfection through a special “slumping” process innovated by artist/owner Annie Morhauser. Combining artisanal techniques with new technology, Annie’s imaginative designs are cut into glass, which is set into kilns at high temperatures; the glass then drapes over molds, stretching into individual patterns and rendering each piece of Annieglass a unique work of art. Annieglass’ handcrafted process ensures dishwasher safety, durability and a lifetime of use from the finished luxury glassware. Each piece is hand-engraved with a studio signature for authenticity. Coveted by brides, celebrities, chefs and home collectors, Annieglass can be found in the finest stores, and is on permanent display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
