Echo Recycled Glass by Crossville

It is rare to find the beauty of cast glass in a recycled product. Because Echo Recycled Glass is made of cast, translucent glass that is textured front and back, it captures, refracts, and bends light in beautiful ways. Specifiers and homeowners will enjoy mixing, matching, and blending the colors and finishes to create stunning installations. They will also have the satisfaction that comes with using a product that is friendly to the environment.

Created at the historic Peltier Glass Company exclusively for Crossville, Echo Recycled Glass is made with the same dedication to beauty and quality as was the glass crafted to Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Pullman Company, and Ford Motor Company in the factory’s early years. In the middle of the last century, Peltier gained recognition worldwide as the maker of prized game marbles and for this; it is best known. Today, these marbles are coveted by collectors, commanding top dollar at marble shows and on-line auctions. As a tribute to the heritage of Peltier Glass Company, each Echo Recycled Glass color name was inspired by Peltier marble names or by the game of marbles itself.
