Baijan Glass is top quality, hand-made glassware from Azerbaijan southwest of Russia. Since each piece is hand made you will never see two pieces that are exactly alike. These hand blown glasswares are contemporary and exotic pieces that are hardly found anywhere else.
The art of glass making is an old tradition which goes back about 3000 years when the Persian empire ruled the region. In the late 18th Century, Azerbaijan fell under Russian rule, and finally in 1989 got its independence and became the Republic of Azerbaijan. The tradition of glassmaking has not been changed since the 18th Century, and they are still making it in the same way, in brick ovens fired with black oil.
Essie Zareh uses his style of multilayer glass with unusual and exotic shapes to create a unique collection fo glass art. Each color represents one layer of glass and there is no painting involved. Each piece is an original cration and there may be slight variation in size, pattern and color. Most of the pieces are signed on the base by Essie Zareh to prove originality.
