Jaslo Mouthblown Glass
Jaslo Glassworks was founded in 1922 and for the next thirty
years produced glass tableware such as bowls, vases and
drinking glasses.
In addition, the company also made various glass bottles and
jars for packaging in the food and drink industry.
In 1954 production started on railway signalling lenses for
PKP, the Polish state railway company. The Glassworks also
started making protective glass lenses used in the production
of safety helmets for welders.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the product range widened to
include coloured signalling lenses for railway and road
networks, as well as for seaports and airports. A major new
product for the company was the introduction of headlamp
lenses for the automotive industry.
Alongside the production of this technical glass, Jaslo
Glassworks has also been making antique stained glass, using
traditional methods dating back to the nineteenth century.
Antique stained glass is available in a variety of shades and
colours, and has been used on many prestigious projects,
including the restoration of the Royal Castle in Warsaw
