Hadeland Glassverk
About us
For more than 260 years, Hadeland Glassverk has been shaping Norway’s story of glass, design, and craftsmanship. Founded in 1762, we are not only Norway’s oldest continuously operating industrial company – we are also a living meeting place where history and innovation intertwine.
On the shores of Lake Randsfjorden in Jevnaker, just an hour from Oslo, you’ll step into a world where glowing glass is transformed into timeless beauty. Inside our historic glassblowing workshop, artisans keep centuries-old traditions alive while experimenting with new forms and ideas. Each piece that leaves the furnace is one of a kind – created by hand, shaped by breath, and crafted with passion.
Craftmanship since 1762
