Wolfard Glassblowing Company
The gentle glow of the Wolfard Lamp radiates hospitality. An exclusive trademarked design in handblown glass. The graceful lamp is often copied, but never equaled in classic beauty.
In 1972, Linda Wolfard received a handblown glass oil lamp as a gift from her husband Jon, a glassblower at a local research company. The original oil lamp became a centerpiece on their coffee table where friends constantly remarked about Jon's unique design and requested lamps for themselves.
With such encouragement, Jon converted their garage into a glassblowing studio and began a small-scale company. Linda carted the lamps along with their new daughter to art shows in parks, malls, and later to gift stores.
In 1975, Wolfard Glassblowing moved their business along with four trusted employees to Santa Rosa, California. Those same four employees are still with the company today. It is with the help of dedicated artisans that the company has been able to live up to its reputation of quality designs with quality service.
The trademarked oil lamps and candles are all handblown from borosilicate glass, adding durability to the classic designs. Skilled glassblowers craft each object using Wolfard's exclusive "in-flame" technique at higher-than-usual temperatures. This presents an additional challenge for the glassblower who must have higher-than-usual skills at his craft. No two lamps are exactly alike, due to variations in this art form.
The 6 Inch. Wolfard Oil Lamp has earned an international reputation for excellence in design and function. It has been included in the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition "High Styles: Twentieth Century American Design," a review of outstanding examples of furniture, industrial design, and decorative objects.
