Vela Sailboat Medium

The layered process requires the bubbles to be set and preserved before the outer gather of clear glass seals them inside, which is what gives the sail its luminous, airy quality. Pairs naturally with the clear and white sailboats for a collected look, or stands on its own as a coastal gift.

At Simon Pearce, fine glassware is still hand-blown in the traditional style. Simon Pearce opened his first glassblowing shop in 1971 in Kilkenny, Ireland. Ten years later, the factory was moved to Quechee, Vermont, where it remains today. The Ottauquechee River provides clean, hydroelectric power for the facility. All Simon Pearce items are proudly made in the U.S.A.
