Since the beginning, Simon’s life has centered around functional, sophisticated design. Growing up in Ireland with a family of artisans, attention to detail and aesthetics were part of his everyday experience. At age 16, Simon began his craft as an apprentice at his father’s pottery studio. From there, he went on to work with notable glassmakers all over Europe before opening his namesake studio. Inspired by centuries-old Georgian glassmaking techniques and using the finest natural materials, Simon set out to create designs that bring pleasure and inspiration with every use, every day.
In the age of bigger, better, faster, Simon Pearce believes in simplicity, quality, and artisanship are tenets of a better way of life. From their hand-thrown pottery to their lead-free crystal glassware made with custom molds and purpose-built furnaces, each handcrafted piece carries a story that lends meaning, authenticity, and grace to every use.
Everything Simon Pearce does is in service of creating a table to gather with the people you love. These moments of togetherness are what inspire them. Watch handmade pieces come to life in their Vermont workshop and bring the inspiration home. See tradition in motion.
The unique imprint at the bottom of each piece is a remnant of the glassmaking process: an impression of where the iron once held the piece during its creation. While others grind this mark down, Simon Pearce keeps it as a signature of the handmade nature of their work.
