What is sea glass?

Sea Glass is glass found on beaches along oceans that has been tumbled and smoothed by the water and sand, creating small pieces of smooth, frosted glass. We find our sea glass while walking the beaches of Buzzard's Bay in Massachusetts. There are a lot of boats and a rocky shore which makes a good recipe for sea glass. Our family has been collecting sea glass for over fourteen years and we have literally tens of thousands of specimens. This site is a photographic catalog of our sea glass collection, our weathered jewels. Kick back and peek around at the photos of sea glass.

Containers

We put our sea glass all over our house. There are pieces in fish tanks, flower pots and vases; not to mention the buckets and tupperware containers that house our treasures.

Here's a few pictures of various containers of sea glass in our home.

Here's a whole shelf in a curio cabinet filled with sea glass-you can see our "crown jewel" hood milk bottle bottoms in there

I am a Massachusetts native and have founded a group titled "The North East Sea Glass Society". We are a group of New Englanders in search of sea glass finds along the coast of the North East States. Our membership is growing and we are having fun and learning at the same time. Please feel free to join us.
