The Beginning

Inspired by the Georgian glass widely used in Ireland's taverns at the start of the eighteenth century, Simon created his first glassware design: the Essex glass.

"In comparison to mass-produced glass, old glass - handmade and finished one piece at a time by a craftsman rather than a machine - seemed to have character and uniqueness." Simon Pearce, A Way of Living
