Designing and glassblowing

Designing and glassblowing were in the past strictly separated. Several well known designers as Hendrik Petrus Berlage, Andries Copier and Willem Heesen have contributed to the Royal Leerdam reputation with a wide range of designer glass, both serica and unica. Best known has become the so-called range of products Gilde Glass (1930) by Andries Copier, as an example of both simplicity and beauty. Glass art created by Royal Leerdam Crystal was and still is very sought after by museums and collectors worldwide.
