Krosno Glass S.A., commonly known as Krosno, is a glassware and crystalware company founded in 1923 in the town of the same name in Poland. The land was purchased by Countess Cecilia Kaczkowska, who had a hands-on approach, determined to make the glassworks world famous. From the beginning they specialized in the production of high-quality glass accessories or liquid vessels such as jugs, vases, carafes, decanters, and chalices. In 1939 work was halted as World War II broke out, and the plant was captured by the Nazis. Production resumed under the Germans and continued until 1944 when they were forced to withdraw from Krosno. Taking a scorched earth approach, they blew up the factory, but a year later the Polish government helped fund the reconstruction and reopening of the plant, with modern improvements and new automated machines to increase production. In the 1950s they branched out into stemware and tumblers for serving spirits, gaining new markets in Brazil and Canada. In 1958 the government established a state-owned enterprise using the facility called “Krośnieńskie Huty Szkła” (Krosno Glassworks). The factory was renovated extensively, including the creation of a paint shop, an in-house glassworking school, and even living quarters. Each individual piece continued to be handmade by expert glassblowers, with embellishments and additions added by artisans and mechanical tools. Throughout the 1970s and 80s additional markets opened up when Krosno began supplying glassware to royal families in Brain, Japan, and Spain. Privatization in the 1990s led to conglomeration with the nearby Jasło and Tarnów glassworks, creating one of the largest glass companies in Europe. The modern and futuristic designs of the glassware manufactured by Krosno was based on the concept of minimalism, and the aesthetic has remained the same for one hundred years, despite the turmoil of the 20th Century. By the mid 2000s their products were available in over 60 countries worldwide, but the economic collapse in 2008 led the company into bankruptcy a year later. The company was acquired by Coast2Coast Capital in 2016, who kept the facilities and workforce intact, and they continue to produce glass products to this day.
