Budapest Glassblowing
 

Does anyone know of any glassblowers in Budapest? I recall hearing a
while back that quite a bit of the commercial pieces around Europe are
made there, but don't know any names. I'm planning a trip there in a
few weeks and would love to see some of their hotshops. Thanks in
advance.

There is or was one in Budapest, which I visited in 1975. It was mainly a
cutting shop, and I am not sure whether they blew any glass on site. I have
a feeling that it was called Budapest No.1 Glass Factory, but I could be
wrong.

The cutting was incredibly intricate, by the way.
