We make the glass, We blow the glass, We paint the glass.....All with LOVE Just to give you a little info about us I was born in Ukraine and grew up in NY. My parents left Ukraine in the late 80's and the rest of our family followed a few years later. Some went to America and some went to Germany. My uncles and their families went to Germany and in the late 90's one them purchased a very well known vase manufacturer. Needing to make a smaller product due to lack of space for inventory my uncle decided that they would start making candle holders and Christmas ornaments and a few years later they added lamp-working artisans. What started small over 20 years ago has grown into one of the best and biggest creators of blown glass art in Europe. Each piece is skillfully crafted by skilled artisans, each of whom completed technical school and is trained in working specifically with glass, apprenticed for several years with master glass blowers, and only then were they trusted enough to make the final product. You will see brush strokes on our candle holders and ornaments. You will see character in the faces of our figurines. You will see natural glass loop ornaments and you will be amazed by the feel, the quality and the depth of our products. Everything is made, by hand, in Ukraine, in the city of L'viv, with skill, precision and love. Nothing that you see in our shop is machine made, nor does it come from China. Even our glass is made in Ukraine!Read their story
