From the opalescent treasures of ancient
Egypt and Rome to the objects of art created by the contemporary
glass studio at Correia, the art of glassblowing has survived
almost unchanged. In the 6,000 year old freehand-blowing tradition
of these cultures – and
other magnificent objects of the past from the Islamic world,
Venice and Bohemia – Correia glass continues the perfect
union of art and craft. It is of the highest quality and the
most elegant design. The visual allure of Correia Art Glass,
its bewitching form and tactile sensation make it a work of art
to be cherished.
At Correia, the tools and methods of applying hot glass
to hot glass by skilled artisans remain the same, but greatly
perfected by advances in furnace and glass technology. Correia
uses no molds, making each glass object a unique handmade creation.
Therefore, every Correia piece is signed, dated and registered
to verify its authenticity, protecting its value for the future.
