Unique Glass Home Decor

Much like clothing fashions, design elements go in and out of style in a cyclical fashion. Blown art glass was a lost art in America until a resurgence that occurred in the 1960s. Ever since then, these unique decorative pieces have been charming hosts and houseguests across the country. Evidence suggests that the first hand blown glass vases were made in Syria before the birth of Christ. Venetian artisans revitalized the technique in the 12th century when their island became a trading empire.

Today, collectors as well as average homeowners appreciate such vases. When you purchase a hand blown vase, you’re not just paying for a mass-produced placeholder but rather a genuine work of art. The creativity and craftsmanship that go into every piece simply cannot be overstated.
