The true history of Orrefors glass began in 1898 with the purchase by Johan August Samuelsson of the estate and former blast furnace and iron-smithy which existed on the site. To utilize the surplus wood that was plentiful, he decided to manufacture glassware, the timber being used to the fuel the operation of smelting sand, soda and calcium into soda-glass.
