Svaja glass, Lithuania

Anne:
I happened across a new-to-me glassmaking name today, Svaja, who are in Lithuania and who have been in business since 1999 and am adding a link to their website. The founder is Kristina Svajone Bobs and she has a huge range!

They produce decorative and architectural glass, and have PDF catalogues available to download. Their decorative wares include vases, plates, bowls, tealight holders, animals, paperweights and more... so we may find answers to some of our mysteries in their catalogues.  www.svaja.com/downloads/Svaja-Dream-Brochure-Download.pdf

Their architectural glass is also worth looking at just for the enjoyment of it!  8)

I think we have to be careful about attributions to Svaja http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,59472.0.html
because I think it's more of a brand than a maunfacturer

chopin-liszt:
I think I agree.

I have seen Svaja for sale in places as diverse as the Alesandro Art Gallery in Dundee, but also in general furniture or sofa warehouses, (on the coffee tables in DFS, for example) cheap household goods warehouses sorts of places. Not quite as low key as poundstretcher, but getting there.
I think they may be an importer, something along the lines of LSA.

Ohio:
The founder does state its a brand. From what I read in her bio the founder organized local studios & local talent to produce glass so strictly as a definition of a manufacturer no...the studios she evidently has under her wing are the manufacturers that sell their products under her brand. Have to hand it to her thought as she seems meet the definition of an entrepreneur so good for her.

chopin-liszt:
Being an entreprenuer is something somebody either can or can't be, it's nothing of individual merit, and nothing to be praised.
So she's made herself a.n. other middle man, and is making a living - but on the backs of others work and talent, not her own.
Just my opinion, like. ;D
