The Art of Fused Glass

Fused glass is a centuries-old technique brought to life through modern artistry and high-temperature craftsmanship. At Peggy Karr Glass, layers of colorful glass are carefully arranged by hand and kiln-fired at over 1,500°F to create vivid, durable designs sealed into the surface. This process allows us to blend bold colors, intricate details, and functional form into every plate, tray, or ornament. Unlike painted or printed glass, our fused pieces won’t fade or peel—making them true keepsakes. The result is glassware that’s not only beautiful to display but strong enough to use every day.

Peggy Karr Reviews

Here’s what real customers have to say about their experience with Peggy Karr Glass.

I’ve worked with countless home décor brands over the years, but nothing compares to the timeless charm and durability of Peggy Karr Glass. My journey with the brand started when I was helping a client stage a spring brunch setup, and I chose the Geraniums Plate for the centerpiece. The effect was immediate—everyone who saw it asked where it came from. The rich reds and greens of the geraniums looked as if they were glowing from within the glass, and the piece added a burst of color that was both refined and lively. After that experience, I began collecting more pieces for my personal and professional use. The Christmas Plate became a staple in my own holiday setup, where it effortlessly tied together candlelight, greenery, and my grandmother’s antique table runner. I even use the Butterflies Plate in a client’s kitchen where we went for a soft, garden-themed décor. I love that each piece is signed, making it feel like a true piece of art. And honestly, as someone who needs beauty and practicality, I’m so impressed by how well they hold up—I’ve placed them in the dishwasher countless times, and they look just as stunning as the day I unwrapped them. I now recommend Peggy Karr Glass to clients not just for aesthetics, but for that rare blend of elegance and usability that makes a house feel like home.

Interior Decorator

Having spent over forty years plating high-end dishes in restaurants and on food magazine shoots, I’ve developed a sharp eye for presentation—and Peggy Karr Glass absolutely delivers on both form and function. I discovered the brand after retiring when I wanted to bring more artistic flair to my home gatherings without sacrificing practicality. The Tuscany Serving Tray was my first purchase, and it quickly became the star of my Sunday dinners. The blend of sunflowers, wine bottles, and warm tones makes every dish I place on it feel more rustic and inviting. I use it to serve roasted vegetables, charcuterie, or even dessert tarts, and every time, guests ask where I got it. Then I added the Apple Bowl to my collection, and that’s when I realized these pieces aren’t just decorative—they’re built to be used. I’ve dropped metal utensils into the bowl, wiped it clean dozens of times, and even microwaved leftovers in it—it’s still flawless. The colors are fused deep into the glass, so they won’t scratch or fade. I truly appreciate the craftsmanship and that each piece is American-made. These aren’t throwaway items—they’re heirlooms in the making, perfect for those who love to cook and entertain with a little artistry on the table.

Retired Chef & Food Stylist

As an art teacher, I surround myself with color and creativity every day, and that’s exactly what drew me to Peggy Karr Glass. I first found the Bird Plate while looking for something cheerful to brighten up my kitchen space, and I was completely charmed by the joyful detail in the birds’ feathers and the soft pastel background. It reminded me of stained glass windows I used to sketch as a student—only this was something I could actually use every day. Now, it sits on a plate stand on my counter, where it adds beauty and warmth to the room. But it’s not just a pretty face—I use it to serve pastries during weekend coffee chats with friends, and it cleans up beautifully in the dishwasher. Since then, I’ve added the Butterflies Plate and the Red Poinsettia to my collection. The butterflies are perfect for spring and summer, while the poinsettia becomes my go-to during December, adding instant holiday spirit. What I love most is how each plate tells a story and adds a touch of artistry to my routine. I even brought one to school once for a still-life exercise, and the kids were fascinated—it became a lesson in both glasswork and inspiration. For anyone who loves art, beauty, and functionality all wrapped in one, Peggy Karr Glass is pure joy.
