Fire & Light

Fire & Light is known for its vibrant colors, texture and quality. Every piece is handmade, one at a time in the USA preserving the rich tradition of American hand pressed glass, and utilizing a once wasted resource… post consumer recycled glass. There is nothing else like it.

Fire & Light hand-poured colored glass tableware has a way of drawing the eye, enchanting the viewer with the unique play of light that filters through its rich spectrum of colors and textures. This enchantment is not simply a quality of the glass or its pigmentation, but of the very way in which it is made, the very hands that pour and press it, the beliefs and spirit that drive the people who craft the product, and the community from which it originates.

Since 1995, the artisans at Fire & Light have been producing a line of glass tableware, home accessories and art glass that can be found in galleries and stores throughout the nation. Seven of Fire & Light’s nine colors contain over ninety percent recycled glass. The company has recycled the equivalent of over 6 million bottles and jars. Fire & Light has been recognized at the state and national level for its contribution to developing a sustainable economy and a healthier environment.

John and Natali McClurg purchased the company in 1999. Together with a team of 20 people, Fire & Light Originals is handcrafting the beautiful giftware and colored glass dinnerware that is now shipped to specialty stores and galleries throughout the country. The enlightened practices that gave rise to the company continues to inform everything we do. Fire & Light still strives to find new ways to incorporate recycling into our production process, like using recycled beer kegs from local microbreweries as vats to cool our ladles.

Fire & Light colored glassware is a product whose history is a kind of future, where age-old craftsmanship meets innovative manufacturing, utilizing post consumer glass as a resource. But it's the beauty that will get you, the twinkle of light on the surface of a watery blue bowl, and the knowledge that we get as much happiness out of making the colored glass bowl as you will from having it on your table.
