From Hot Shop to Tabletop
The journey from our Hot Shop to your table is one of passion, skilled artisanship, and endless precision. Every piece is custom-made using the following steps:
Color
We add color to the hot glass in two ways; using tiny bits of colored glass, called “frit”, for our Fritsy items, and using an overlay – which is how we add sheer color to a clear bubble, to make our illusion pieces. All our color is sourced from Europe and is of the highest quality.
Shape
We reheat the glass and blow through the blow pipe into the glass that has been gathered on the end of the pipe. We continue to shape the glass, and blow more air into the pipe until the desired shape is reached. It’s a continual process, a continual back and forth from the furnace to the bench – like an orchestrated dance, where the glassblower works on the piece until it looks just right.
Stamp
While the glass is still hot, each piece is stamped and branded to show it is a true Saban Glass piece.
Our meticulous process makes incredibly special, one-of-a-kind pieces that are crafted to last. Each and every creation is made with love and detail and will be shipped in 3-5 weeks from the moment you place your order. WE take great pride in our work, and want you to be happy!
Welcome to our Hot Shop
A place where our team gathers with Cheryl to take part in the development of new pieces to our line of hand blown glass. Our creations are intended to inspire togetherness and warmth in your home. So it should come as no surprise that they were brought to life in ours. And yeah, it is pretty warm in here!
