No. 30 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in –ería: VIDRIERÍA
In post No. 29 in my collection, we saw the word "cristalería" as a shop that sells (depending on where you are in the Spanish-speaking world) either kitchen glassware or glass panes for windows and doors. Here in No. 30, we have another word for a glass shop: vidriería.
The Spanish word "vidrio" means "glass" as either a generic word for glass as a material or substance, or in the cut-glass or glass panes sense. In this shop in Mexico City, they cut glass to put into picture frames.
If you live in a Spanish-speaking country, which word do you see more often— cristalería or vidriería—and what kind of glass do they make or sell there?
