about
pvra (read as pú-ra) means pure in Portuguese. From the raw materials transmuted in hellish furnaces to the crystal-clear glass you recognise, a strange magic happens. This transformation is what PVRA embodies.
fire & flame
Fire is our element and the forge our home. Flames, smoke and heat give us a sense of comfort. On the city outskirts, we sweat and toil, invisible to society. 
blowing cane & anvil
We gently control melting glass using the blowing cane while it clasps to the anvil as if it had a will of its own. These are the tools of the trade and our mastery a source of pride. 
transcendance & sublimation
Suddenly we witness magic. Clear and purified glass emerges from the pit of fire, smoke and noise. And there it shines brighter than the hottest flames. 
storytelling
Glass is the poet and we're merely the reciters of its story. Every piece, every material has one to tell. 
made in Portugal
Glassblowing is an art with its centre in Marinha Grande and a proud long-standing history. We want to bring this tradition to the world, respecting its values while also innovating.
