Polished Glass

Red Tern, by iitala

Polished Glass in Knutsford has to be one of the nicest gift shops around, in my opinion.  The shop is run by the very charming Maureen Kulikowska and her husband John, who have been in the same premises for some time now, so they know both their customers and their stock extremely well.

Little Bird first discovered Polished Glass about six years ago, whilst out shopping for a friend’s birthday present.  The friend ended up with nothing, but Little Bird got a great necklace and pair of earrings from the outing! (Shame on Little Bird, bad friend!)

To be fair, she did actually go back (hanging her head in shame) a week later to get her friend a pendant necklace.  Over the following six years, Polished Glass became the staple ‘go to’ for all manner of presents, and of course, Little Bird now has an enviable collection of jewellery to boot ;0)

Maureen first opened her business as a source of Polish glass (hence the name, geddit?) but in the years since discovered so many talented glass-makers, both at home and all over Europe, that you can now find glass art, jewellery, vases, glasses, coasters…etc, from all over the place.

Maureen and John have a wealth of knowledge about all their chosen artists and brands, and they seek out new products all the time, bringing a freshness to the collection all year round, meaning you can go in and add to your own collection all the time – bad for the wallet, but good for the soul!

For beautiful, unusual jewellery, stylishly different home accessories, and gifts for all ages and occasions – I say look no further, and tell Maureen and John that Little Bird sent you!
