Handmade glass ornaments in UT Volunteers orange/white.
These handmade glass ornaments are made in Pigeon Forge, TN by a Tennessee resident who makes his own glass from scratch and who designed and built the glass furnace in which he melts it. They are 100 percent glass, the color is not painted on.
The silica sand used to make the glass for these ornaments is from Short Mountain Silica in Mooresburg, TN, 50 miles northeast of Knoxville.
Short Mountain produces some of the highest quality glass sand in the country, and also supplied the sand that underlies the football turf of Neyland Stadium at UT.
Each ornament is roughly 3" in diameter.
There is some slight variability in size due to the fact that these are handmade without the use of molds of any kind.
Ornaments are $20 each with a 10% discount for 4 or more and free shipping at 6 or more. Shipping is otherwise a flat $10. To order, contact glassmaker@strikingcolor.com. I generally send either a Paypal or Square invoice and ship using either Priority Mail or UPS. If you would prefer another payment or shipping method, let me know.
