HEATH Glass
I’ve always wanted to offer Glassware that we could make locally. Earlier this year I visited a small factory in West Virginia, the factory has been around for 70 years (Bottom two photos were taken on that trip). The top two photos (by Jeffery Cross) are the result…A collection of classic simple hand blown glassware by Heath.
I love the result and that we are preserving the craft of American Glassmaking. Like our little factory, this craft of manufacturing is almost extinct in the US.
The glassware is now in our stores, soon to be on-line. Let us know what you think.

Please hurry and get them online! I cannot wait. Although I don’t know if I am a tapered or straight-sided kind of guy.
They are really beautiful.

Thank you!
And now they are not online! Now you see them, now you don’t!
Robert, I apologize for the David Copperfield moment you experienced on our website. We were doing some product testing – you must have caught us in the act. They will be up very shortly… Thanks for your support and excitement! Simone

They’re beautiful and I’m so happy to hear you’re having these made in West Virginia. Will you be offering stemware in the future?
I got my straight sided glasses yesterday and they are fantastic. Good job.
This sounds great. I live in San Francisco, but I am originally from WV. (and our home here in sf is full of heath things) In what West Virginia town is the factory located? Is it blenko glass by any chance? Fenton?

Hi Ray, we’re making the glass in Jane Lew WV. It’s a little less than 2 hours south of Pittsburgh.
