Handcrafted glass tableware and decorative accessories - the unique vision of artist Ann Morhauser of Santa Cruz, Californis. Throughout her twenty-plus years at the forefront of the industry, Ann has retained her very personal approach while producing for the mass market.
Annieglass is in the permanent collections of Corning's Museum of Glass, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Annieglass takes its shape in a fiery kiln where a sheet of flat glass is melted over a ceramic mold in a process called "slumping". At 1350 degrees F, precious metal and color fuse permanently to glass, making the work tarnish and chip resistant, as well as dishwasher-safe. The slumping technique results in an appearance distinct from blown glass: the product is simultaneously translucent and textured with a unique surface that subtlely retains the imprint of the hands that shaped the mold.
Annieglass is very simple, and the surface is deliberately imperfect.
This hands-on process produces glassware works of art for your table and for entertaining.
