Handcrafted Glass Art
Since 1979
Valletta Glass has been a symbol of exceptional artistic craftsmanship in Malta and beyond. We continue to use time-honoured artisan techniques to create each unique piece, ensuring our legacy endures.
Our Story
Valletta Glass was established in Malta as a family-run venture by Mr Paul Said in 1979. Our brand has become synonymous with artistic excellence, quality, and craftsmanship in Malta and overseas. Mr Said is still heavily involved in the management process and the overall production of exceptional works of art. He is a keen believer in the beauty of simplicity and, from a young age, expressed his interest in the Venetian Murano Glass movement.
Our company’s mission is to actively uphold the trade of Malta glass blowing and promote traditional Maltese craftsmanship worldwide. We value the close relationship with our craftsmen, who contributed significantly to the survival and continuity of this ancient tradition of handmade art.
Our Craftsmanship
Using traditional, ancient glass blowing techniques mixed with a unique Maltese twist — our glass is an artwork with its own captivating charm. All hand blown in Malta, it uses techniques passed down through generations and continues to create work that is just as awe-inspiring to this day.
What makes each piece of Maltese glass art unique is the glass blowing technique. Every single piece of Valletta Glass has been handcrafted in our workshop. The colours are added through glass chips or powders, and our expert glass blowers manipulate the glass when still extremely hot to create resplendent pieces ready to add striking colour to your home.
Our promise to you is that the quality of our hand blown glass remains unchanged, even after more than 40 years.
