Probably best known for their incredibly popular 'PartyLite mosaic' collection, Cristiro is a manufacturer of fine art glass and dinnerware located in Bistrita, Romania.

According to their website, "Our product range has... over 5000 items. All of them are mouth blown and completely handcrafted."

PartyLite is but one of the company's clients.  In addtion, Cristiro also serves crystal needs for Crystal Clear, JC Penney and Lenox, among others.

The company began in 1974, and has since grown extensively, due in part to the very popular "mosaic" line.

Known by many names, including "Luminessence", "Galleria", "Milano" and of course, PartyLite's "Mosaic", this collection of hand crafted crystal is known for it's signature swirls of glass (either black or blue) that are randomly colorized with lustre colors and genuine gold, to create an elegant statement in any home.

It takes two artists to create each piece of glass.  First the clear crystal container is formed, using time honored mouth blowing techniques.  Once the glass shape has formed, the thin glass "lines" are swirled onto the clear glass to create the basic piece.  This must then be slowly cooled to prevent cracking.  Once the base piece has been cooled, the lustre colors and gold are applied by hand in random applications to each glass - ensuring no two are ever exactly alike.  The piece is then fired for a second time, much like enameling, to seal the colors to the glass.  The finished piece is then quality checked, wrapped and packed for shipment. Every step is hand-verified by the team at Cristiro.  Every piece is custom made with care.

The resulting art glass speaks for itself - as a highly prized collectible, or as a beautiful gift for a loved one. Because of the individual nature of each piece, you could say that they were custom made especially for you!
