Glasriket - Glasriket

A fantastic world of glass

Småland's Kingdom of Glass has been creating magic since 1742. The unique art glass is famous worldwide and the craft can be found in many Swedish homes. Here you meet the craftsmen and artists.

At most glassworks, it is fine to step into the cabin and take part in the work. And maybe try the noble art of glassblowing yourself. You can also shop for unique glass, sometimes at bargain prices.
