Svaja. Say it slowly Out loud Sss….fi….yah It is a mysterious word And a beautiful one In Lithuania, it means dream
Kristina Svajone Bobs is our founder Born in Lithuania, her middle name is Dream Kristina dreamt of sharing the beauty of her homeland and the mastery of its glass blowers with the rest of the world Today, her dreams are brought to life and captured forever in glass Light and colourful Beautiful and mysterious Exotic and otherworldly Each a precious piece of a dream for you to cherish
Our history is rich And our art runs deep Tempered over centuries The nineteenth, the eighteenth, the seventeenth, The sixteenth All the way back To a summer’s day in 1547 When Grand Duke Sigismundas Augustas decreed That Martynas Paleckis should establish the region’s first foundry Today, those ancient skills live on all over the world And the masters still practise their craft Not in the factories with their beer bottles and windscreens and television tubes But in tiny hidden boltholes Where optimism and vibrancy Flair and indulgence Beauty and colour Are blown into wonderful new shapes every day
