The Green Glass Company

 

With origins dating back to 1992 in South Africa, The Green Glass Company has seen many incarnations and has grown into the largest producer of reclaimed glassware in the world.  

The Green Glass Company strives to satisfy not only its recycling heritage but also its eclectic and diverse clientele.   With its patent on the unique wine bottle to goblet conversion process, The Green Glass Company team and its state-of-the-art equipment are at the forefront of the reclaimed glassware market.
Revered throughout Europe and other parts of the world as collectable art glass, The Green Glass Company goblets have even been chosen for the table of King Carlos of Spain, a former Mayor of New York City, movie sets, and, celebrity dinners. In addition to their popularity with consumers and collectors, The Green Glass Company products are quickly becoming a valuable marketing tool in the corporate world. Sandblasted with a company name or logo, the glasses not only provide enduring brand exposure, they also provide insight into a company’s awareness and commitment to preserving our resources.

The increasing popularity of reclaimed and recycled products will continue to fuel the forward momentum of The Green Glass Company.   The introduction of new product lines and innovative designs will ensure that the company continues to be viewed as the pioneer in reclaimed glassware.
The Green Glass Company challenges everyone to push beyond the average, strive to make a difference, thrive on creativity – and promises to do the same.

It is simple, yet imaginative.

It is conceptually elementary, yet technologically complex.

It is an ordinary bottle, yet an extraordinary drinking glass.   Cheers.

My first thought..... BEAUTIFUL ! 

The Green Glass Company was so kind and sent me a Cobalt Blue Pitcher and Ariana Vase to review.  They are so beautiful!  I love that each is a piece of reclaimed glass and a beautiful piece of ART. The quality is superior and the detail of craftsmanship is top notch. The rims look like they have been melted into a very smooth surface, so no fears of cutting your fingers on these wonderful pieces.

Any of the great products available from The Green Glass Company would make a great gift for birthdays, weddings, house warming, special occasions and even Mother's Day. 

I can't wait for my flower garden to start producing this Spring, I can picture how appealing some White Daisy's are going to look in my elegant new vase.

I love working with companies that are helping our planet by reusing, reclaiming and recycling items that normally just get tossed into our land fills.  

The Green Glass Company has partnered with several other companies that provide post and pre-consumer glass and other materials to create these great pieces of useful "Art". 

The pitchers and vases are also available in clear, frosted, green and topaz and The Green Glass Company offers several collections of drinking glasses, stem wear and candle holders.

Ruby Sparkles Blue Q Bird Shopper

Blue Q Bird Shopper

Ever fancy owning an aviary? Well, with this Shopper you can make that dream a plastic reality. Fittingly called Bird this bag features gorgeous vintage feather graphics collaged to perfection. At first glance the pattern may simply look like a bird collage, but the variety in the types of graphics, the different splashes of color, and the layering make this bag incredibly unique. The Shopper features a perfectly sized, jovially crooked pocket of a dove encased by an ornate golden frame. So wherever you shake your tail-feather to, take Bird along for the ride and you won’t be disappointed.

Trying to go green? Finding it difficult to remember to bring your reusable bags to the grocery store? Not anymore! Blue Q’s Shoppers are large, durable, and incredibly attractive. Carry your grocery’s home in style! Thinking these bags are too fashionable to actually be functional? Sorry, Charlie, but you would be mistaken. These Shoppers can hold up to 40 pounds without causing bag breakage. We were a little skeptical at first, so one of our reps put her Labrador in the bag to prove its durability. We are happy to report both the Labrador and Shopper are fine. We so appreciate having these bags and joke that thanks to the Shoppers we’ll never let ourselves get away with asking for paper or plastic again. These Shoppers make a great daily accessory to your routine or would make a great gift to those you are encouraging to be more environmentally conscious.

$14.00 plus FREE SHIPPING

I love this Bag !

Look at how bright the colors are and how clear the graphics are. The Blue Q Bird Shopper works great for a shopping bag, it can hold so much.  SO easy to carry around the mall.

It measures in at a whopping 15 x 15 inches and opens up 6 inches.  
The bag is made out of 95% recycled materials that look like a type of plastic that has been woven together to make a very sturdy bag.
I have been using this bag for about a week now and only have positive things to say about it.  I have used it for shopping, a trip to the library and to carry snacks, water and equipment to my grandsons basketball game.
I know I'm going to be using this bag this summer when we go to the lake.  It's large enough to carry towels, sunscreen and water.  The handles are large enough for me to carry it up on my shoulder which frees my hands to carry more.

Ruby Sparkles has offered all my readers 10% off their purchases until March 8, 2011. Just use coupon code "COPPERSTUDIO" at checkout.
