History of Småland and Glass

The history of Swedish glass began in the Småland region, located on a forested plateau in the south of Sweden. Forests and water are important elements for the glass industry, and this richness of nature is one of the reasons why glass developed in Småland. In the 20th and 21st centuries, it was home to a number of manufacturers that became famous as Swedish glass. In recent years, some brands have moved to mechanization or manufacturing overseas, but in this region, handmade products have continued for over 250 years, and the refined techniques have been passed down to the next generation.
