Since 1983, Annie Morhauser and her team of master glassmakers have been handcrafting exquisite glass tableware, home décor and sculptures with passion and precision. Made entirely by hand in the USA, accented with genuine precious metals, hand-signed , dishwasher-safe, and durable enough to last a lifetime, Annieglass pieces are cherished heirlooms and functional art that infuse everyday life with beauty and joy. Two pieces from the Annieglass Shells Collection, Coquina and Tiburon, can be found on permanent display in the Luce Foundation Collection of American Craft at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Coquina and Tiburon are made of frosted and sandblasted glass with a hand-painted 24K gold edge. Both are still in production at the Annieglass Studio in Watsonville and available for purchase in the company store, online or in over three hundred retailers nationwide. Every piece of Annieglass is hand-engraved on the back with the studio signature.
