Reviews of The Green Glass Company
Glassware is Great, but a bit Expensive
I love my short, clear, mint-colored glass tumblers. I drink out of them every day. They go great with my heavy Buffalo China restaurant dishes trimmed with a green stripe. It took a while for my order to arrive, and right now they are completely out of stock. The good news is they have other great tumblers and glassware in stock. Frosted glass is another other option in mint, cyan and cobalt. I think they are over-priced. I'd be more willing to pay $5-$7/glass instead of $10, more often. Especially when you can shop at the Dollar Store for thick water glasses and pay a buck a piece, or shop at the thrift store and pay even less. I just like the idea of what they are doing by recycling wine bottles, etc. and want to support their business.

This business turns used glass bottles in to attractive and functional tableware. The finished product is beautiful and the customer service is excellent. Best of all, glass is rescued from our landfills and reused.

green glass
I love Green Glass because it makes beautiful new things (Wine Glasses, Jewelry, etc.) out of recycled glass. The method Green Glass uses to make wine glasses is ingenious, but a little tricky to explain. Imagine turning a wine bottle upside down. The lowest part of the wine bottle (now, the neck) is the stem of the new glass, which widens to the full width of the wine bottle, at which point the bottle is cut through to make the rim of the wine glass. The base of the wine glass is then made my cutting the base of the original bottle and then adhering it to the base of the new glass. I also love Green Glass because it was an idea borne and developed in Southern Africa, where it provided disadvantaged people from local communities with environmentally friendly careers. Excellent.
