Nagar Glass Factory

info Nagar (နဂါး) glass factory used to be the best glass factory in Yangon which was in operation starting from 1957 until it was destroyed in 2008 by the Nargis cyclone.

You can still find the beautiful glasseware that are scattered and buried throughout the jungle land around the factory by the events of Nargis. It can be quite a treasure hunt to find the colorful glass pieces that are in good condition and still intact, which you can take home at a price. The nice family there who used to be the owners of the old factory will clean up and polish the glass pieces that you find, and it can also be a joy to talk to them as they can speak nice English.
