Stemmed Glassware & Mugs 

Glassware is hand crafted, personally by the artist, one at a time when your order is received. Only the finest clear Libbey glassware is used to make these thoughtful, practical gifts. Glass wears less, lasts longer, and is much more attractive than mass produced ceramic. Images are accurately carved from photographs taken of prehistoric rock art petroglyphs and pottery.
 

 
Warm Beverage Mugs  #GWB

A note of caution from the
glassware manufacturer, Libbey:


Before pouring “steaming” hot drinks, always pre-heat the glass or be sure
to insert a metal spoon to
help absorb the heat.
