Did you know that the only places in the world where the Eastern Bluebird can be found are in North America and Bermuda? The early settlers of our country were captivated by this lovely, plump, sweet singing bird. More songs and poems have been written about the Bluebird than any other bird. It is associated with Spring, Love, and Joy. It is a symbol of commemorating marriages and anniversaries and a messenger for contentment and health.

The glass bluebirds at Terra are designed by Leo Ward, Master Glass Craftsman and owner of Terra. They are made from a beautiful blue crystal glass which is "batched" in our glass furnaces, starting with a pure white sand mined in Northeastern Arkansas. The blue color results from the inclusion of black copper oxide in the glass batch. It will never fade or change.

The bird is made by gathering a ball of molten glass on the end of a long "punty" rod and shaping it with hand tools as the glass cools. A glass craftsman must have a well-trained eye and quick but steady hand. After cooling, each bird is carefully inspected for flaws before it is prepared for shipment. Our Bluebirds of Happiness are SIGNED AND DATED COLLECTIBLES that you will be glad and proud to give as a gift to a dear friend.
