Simon Pearce, the maker of handcrafted, American-made glassware and pottery, specializes in simple and elegant products that are stunning and perfect for everyday use. In the early 1970’s, he studied glassblowing in European glass houses and at the Royal College of Art in London. In the early 1980’s, Simon Pearce took his European skills to the states. He settled in Quechee, Vermont, where he built a historic wooden mill and a turbine to harness the power of the Ottauquechee River for hydroelectric energy. Simon Pearce’s facility, restaurant, potter’s workshops and glassworks are all operated by using the hydroelectric power generated by the river. His 18th and 19th century European glass making is highly regarded by many people worldwide. Its modern collections of tableware consist of hand blown glass and pottery with the rusticity and warmth that Simon Pearce is renowned for.
