Glass Trees and the 20th Anniversary

One of the company's most recognizable products is its glass trees. The catalog includes models such as the Vermont Evergreen, described as the piece that started the series and is still made the same way; the Five Sided Evergreen, with five sides; the Snowy Branches Evergreen, with white glass hand-applied to each branch tip; the Snowdrift Evergreen, with white streaks encapsulated within the glass; and the Bubble Twist Evergreen, which combines bubbles and twists. The company celebrates twenty years of this line with new designs, including the 20th Anniversary Spiral Three Sided Tree, 20", presented as a limited anniversary edition. It also offers sets such as the Vermont Evergreen Trio and the Traditional Evergreen Trio. Several of these trees are available in different sizes and with an engraving option.

Engraving, Gifts, and Seconds

The engraving service applies to a selection of products, and the company also sells gift sets and gift cards. Gifts are categorized by occasion, with sections for weddings, hosting, anniversaries, housewarmings, birthdays, and graduations, as well as a corporate gifting line. The site also includes a seconds section.

The company operates a restaurant in Quechee, Vermont, which it describes as a warm table with local ingredients and water views. At its workshops, it is possible to see live glassblowing and pottery demonstrations, and the company invites visitors to find the nearest store among those it keeps open.
