Morning
Warsaw Cut Glass Company

Warsaw Cut Glass opened its doors in 1911, where the first master glass artisan painstakingly hand cut each piece of crystal on belt-driven wheels. Free-hand design made each piece a true original.
Today it is one of the last American facilities practicing the art of cutting glass.
The technique and equipment have remained unchanged and so has the product. Warsaw Cut Glass has changed ownership just three times in the company’s history always remaining inside the firm, always in the hands of practicing craftsmen dedicated to preserving the art. Known by celebrities, presidents, kings, and queens from the world over, all the famous have purchased pieces from this local artisan store. Shop through the vast pieces of etchings in nature; blue heron, dragon flies, birds, and many varieties of flowers of all types with reasonably priced glass pieces.
Then your group will venture a few blocks away into downtown Warsaw to MudLOVE, the third stop of the morning.
