Fire & Light Recycled Glass Dinnerware & Giftware Review

Happy Halloween!

What's more appropriate on a holiday like today than to celebrate products that have been brought back from the dead and given a new life?

I'm speaking of course about Fire & Light, a company that makes beautiful, handcrafted dinnerware, giftware, candle holders, vases and more by recycling old glass bottles and jars.

Buying Fire & Light products supports a company that's turning "waste" into beautiful works of art. The company's website explains it this way:

Fire & Light hand-poured colored glass tableware has a way of drawing the eye, enchanting the viewer with the unique play of light that filters through its rich spectrum of colors and textures. This enchantment is not simply a quality of the glass or its pigmentation, but of the very way in which it is made, the very hands that pour and press it, the beliefs and spirit that drive the people who craft the product, and the community from which it originates.

It all sounds a little dramatic, but when you hold a Fire & Light glass up to the light, you really do feel like you've brought a bit of art into your daily experience of eating and drinking.

Ladling out some food onto one of Fire & Light's Moonstone plates gave our humble chicken dinners a bit more pizzazz.

And the chunky Tumbler instantly become one of our favorite glasses for iced tea and other cold drinks.

Made in California, Fire & Light's products are dishwasher-safe, but they are not recommended for use in the microwave.

Eco-consumers take note - Fire & Light products come in a wide array of colors, but not all of the colors have the same percentage of recycled content. Most colors have more than 91% recycled glass content, but due to color sensitivity, the Lavender and Citrus colored pieces can use only a small percentage of recycled content.

Where to buy:

Use Fire & Light's Retail Locator to find a store near you that carries Fire & Light products.
