A Time-Traveling Tale of Glass in America
Standing in Jamestown with Raquel, watching artisans in period dress blow glass in a furnace that mirrors those of 1608, I felt a connection across centuries. The glowing silica, the crackle of the fire—it was as if we were glimpsing the past while holding Tiffany’s legacy in our hearts.

Despite their distinct origins, these regions have long been Spain's most outward-looking, connected by trade, art, and a comfort with cultural exchange.
