Looking for a classy house warming, bridal, or holiday gift? Originality, beauty, and functionality are only some of the reasons we love Annieglass. Founded by Annie Morhauser, Annieglass offers a beautiful collection of handmade glass serving pieces and dinnerware. Annieglass's original tour de force was a piece called "Roman Antique", a plate of thick glass with a widely painted rim of pure gold. Today, it remains a favorite of brides worldwide.  Annie Morhauser fell in love with the beauty of glass when she first saw it being blown on the beach over 30 years ago. She graduated from the California College of Arts with training in a range of glass techniques, but it was developing her own "slumping" process in the '80s that marked the beginning of Annieglass. In 2006, the Smithsonian American Art Museum honored Annieglass by selecting two sculptural pieces ("Tiburon" and "Coquina" from the Shell Series) as part of its permanent collection.
