About Teign Valley Glass: "The glassworks was set up in Teignmouth, Devon, England in 1981 to make specialist handmade marbles for House of Marbles. The aim was to reproduce the specialist techniques of Victorian glass makers. Our first glassblowers brought generations of skill and experience from some of Britain's leading glass houses such as Whitefriars, Stuart Crystal, Galway and Cumbria Crystal to name but a few. It soon became clear that our team had the skills to make so much more than marbles and Teign Valley Glass was born as a separate enterprise. We now make a wide selection of beautiful glassware and supply galleries and stores across the world. The work captures the essence of our location in the South West of England and I am inspired by the stunning moors and beaches I see everyday." (source: Hoadley Gallery website)
