Glass and Nothing Else
We use a time-honored Scandinavian glass recipe, the finest raw materials, and centuries-old techniques. No fillers, no coatings, no shortcuts.
Born from Simon’s fascination with 18th century Georgian glass, and a bestseller ever since. Substantial, versatile, and consistently described as the most useful glass people own.
Handmade in the USA
Guaranteed to arrive safely
Made of natural materials
Durable enough for daily use
The Essex Water Glass carries all the hallmarks of Simon’s original vision: substantial heft, a strong base, a hand-rolled rim, and classic proportions that feel deliberately generous. At 16 oz. and 6⅞" tall, it’s the largest silhouette in the Essex family, sized for beer, smoothies, margaritas, and everything in between. The same durable construction that makes it a fixture at the Simon Pearce restaurant holds up just as well at home, indoors or out. From a casual weekday lunch to a formal dinner party, it moves between both without skipping a beat.
The care behind our glass
We use a time-honored Scandinavian glass recipe, the finest raw materials, and centuries-old techniques. No fillers, no coatings, no shortcuts.
Shaped by hand over the flame, every piece balances form and function. Brilliant to look at, durable enough for daily use, and entirely its own.
Turn a piece over and you'll find this small trace left by the hand that shaped it. We leave it there on purpose to celebrate perfect imperfection.
