Chip Miller, glassblower at the plant for 13 years, takes the vase out of the 2000 degree kiln, and will put on the finishing touches on Feb. 28, 2012 in Mountiain Like Park, Md. Simon Pearce opened their third manufacturing facility at the former Bausch & Lomb location in Mountain Lake Park, Maryland. Glass production began in January of 1999. The 190,000 square foot facility enables the company to grow and expand production to meet the demand for Simon Pearce glass well into the future. Visitors can watch the glassblowers at work from a catwalk above the glassblowing floor and shop in the retail store. (AP Photo/Cumberland Times-News/Steven Bittner)
