Hi,

What do you call the profession of people who refine glass items and create crystal glass products?

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

To be honest, I know 'glass-blower' mainly because the guy who lives opposite us used to be one but that's really making shapes with glass. I would suggest simply 'glassworker'.

Best I can do, I'm afraid.

Alan
