Empire Glassworks is a glass manufacturer created in 2013 and located just an hour south of Los Angeles in Placentia, California. Although a relatively new company, the owners and staff of Empire Glassworks have over 40 years of experience creating hand crafted glass. Not only do they have a wide selection of oil rigs, bubblers, water pipes, and hand pipes, but they also construct glass accessories such as slides, dabbers, and dab sets. When making these accessories, Empire Glassworks utilizes highly skilled glassblowers to implement a specific glassblowing process using a torch flame called "lampworking". When it comes to most of their glass pipes, vapor rigs, tobacco bongs, and bubblers, Empire Glassworks ensures their extreme durability and strength using dichroic glass. Dichroic glass was originally developed by NASA for use in the face shields of spacesuits. The experience, the attention to detail, and their unique and creative approach to constructing their glassware makes Empire Glassworks one of the highest rated glass companies around.
