Bay Glassed

These one of a kind pieces are made from authentic wave tumbled glass and pottery harvested from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Discarded and forgotten, the pieces have weathered the tides and storms of the Bay region. Gathered in the oyster tongs of a waterman or by carefully combing the hidden coves and exposed shorelines, these pieces tell a story of the area's history and people.

We are grateful to our partner, Mother Nature.
