Bent Glass Bowls
On the historic Red Hook piers in Brooklyn, New York, Flickinger Glassworks carries on a tradition of quality bent glass and shaped glass that dates back to the 18th Century. They bend glass just as the master craftsmen of Europe did: slumping sheet glass into steel molds. But their custom kilns use infrared technology for better energy efficiency.
