Why is Kristal-Glas so passionate about Leerdam glass? Simple: the family's own history is intertwined with that of the ‘city of glass’. Its younger generation was raised on captivating stories about the marvellous craft, told on Sundays by granddad – a proud Leerdam glassblower who, like most of the family, earned a living working in the centuries-old Leerdam glassworks along the Linge. Growing up surrounded by this history sparked a passion for Leerdam glass and, eventually, led to the foundation of Kristal-Glas, the Netherlands’ largest online retailer of glass art and crystal!
