It all started in 1970.

The Glass Onion began as a shop full of colorful wonders from world travels, providing customers with distinctive treasures on Water Street. We then added plants and flowers, and dotted the shop with antiques, books, maps, and nautical gear. Today, the Glass Onion is a mélange of all its lives, with thoughtfully chosen home and garden accents, clothing for the breezy summers and the stormy seas, fine art, provisions, jewelry, and more.
