The Polish 'magicians of glass' who create Christmas baubles for clients worldwide

GlitterLab in Czestochowa makes hand-made Christmas baubles, claiming a long family tradition and a focus on craftsmanship.
The company operates for more than eight decades and is now led by Barbara Mostowska.
The workshop markets to international brands like Swarovski and Harrods, highlighting its global reach.
The process starts with a client drawing and a clay model before selecting materials to finalize a unique bauble.
A design like the Yellow Floral Bauble shows the premium, exclusive offerings priced around 125 pounds.
Mostowska emphasizes that the products are crafted to be displayed year-round, not just for holidays.
GlitterLab combines artisanal glass work with modern materials like resin and metal to create diverse shapes.
GlitterLab is tied to Czestochowa’s craft heritage and the town’s icon, the Black Madonna.
GlitterLab aims to tell stories through its decorations, blending nostalgia with craft.
The Christmas baubles are marketed as unique keepsakes amid a market of inexpensive mass-produced items.
