The History of Teign Valley Glass

Teign Valley Glass was set up in Teignmouth, Devon, England in 1981 to make specialist hand made marbles for the House of Marbles. The aim was to reproduce the specialist techniques of Victorian glass makers. Our first glass blowers brought generations of skill and experience from some of Britain's leading glass houses - Whitefriars, Stuart Crystal, Galway and Cumbria Crystal to name but a few.

It soon became obvious that our team had the skills to make so much more than marbles and Teign Valley Glass was born as a seperate enterprise. As the name and production grew the business was moved to bigger premises in Bovey Tracey, 15 miles away.

We now make a wide selection of beautiful glassware apart from our marbles. We work for galleries and department stores around the world and are particularly proud of some of the special commissions we have done.
