Isn't it so much more enjoyable
to sip a cocktail or a fine wine from a unique and beautiful glass?
We think
so!
So at Asta Glass we've
created our own original bar glasses - some elegant, some whimsical. Our designs are carefully applied to each glass by hand and the glass
is finished right
here in our studio near San Francisco.
The
Talented Artists who make Asta Glasses
Each
design is made in limited quantities and sold to stores across the
country. Look for the store nearest you
or contact us directly to have us arrange shipping through one of our many fine
stores.
Enjoy!

Kathryn
Gooding, designer of Asta Glass - Distinctive Barware, had always enjoyed a good martini but couldn’t find enough
interesting glasses from which to drink them.
Sensing a need, she left behind a career in finance, founded
Asta
Glass, and became its designer, manufacturer, chief bottle and glass washer (really!),
salesperson and accountant.
With no formal art training, she relied instead on her sources of
inspiration.
She taught herself the method of sandblasting designs onto glasses and
wasn’t satisfied until each glass met her meticulous standards.
Now
using both sides of her brain, Kathryn happily works on new designs and
shapes inspired by the Bay Area’s beauty and the ideas that pour into
it from around the world. Together with a small group of local craftspeople and
artisans, she still manufactures, sells and keeps
the books at her studio near San Francisco, California, and makes a fine
martini for herself, her husband, and whoever drops by at the end of the
day.
Asta
Glass maintains its original vow of providing an interesting and fun
product, at a very good price, and we try our best to bring you
great service with the utmost civility. We like to think that
somewhere, we've made someone's day, every day.
