'NOVICA Hand Blown Highball, Whirling Aquamarine' (Set of 6) Glass Ware

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, works together with talented artisan designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake treasures. Our mantra is to spread global happiness, so rest assured - we'll do everything we possibly can to ensure you're a happy customer.

Javier and Efren, a talented duo, achieve a fabulous effect with the dynamic design of this set of six highball glasses. Each glass is crafted with traditional blown glass techniques, in which artisans blow through a metal pipe while twirling it with one hand. They simultaneously shape the molten glass at the other end while expertly achieving a whirling effect in aquamarine and white. Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship.

Efren confides, "This type of work is a beautiful craft. I love blown glass because of the pure imagination poured into every piece created." Working as a team, Javier specializes in the design of the pieces, and Efren transforms the designs into a reality. "Efren and I make a great team. Over the years we have worked hard to design truly original styles with a distinctly Mexican accent," says Javier.

For care, it is recommended to use the top rack of the dishwasher or hand wash. These hand-crafted items are free of lead and toxins, but please note that the colour, size, and/or motif may vary slightly as each piece is unique.

This NOVICA fair trade product, in association with National Geographic, comes with an official NOVICA Story Card that certifies the quality and authenticity of the exceptional artisan work by Javier and Efren. The glasses have a capacity of 13.0 ounces and measure 6" H x 2.8" Diam.
