2 Blue White Spotted Eco-Friendly Handblown Highball Glasses - Blue Confetti
Sourced
Guarantee
Two glasses, and each one looks like a tide pool captured in crystal. This pair of highball glasses from Mexico's Lourdes Martinez is handblown from recycled glass, with a mosaic of blue and white speckles densely packed at the base and gradually giving way to clear, luminous glass above, creating a gradient that feels as organic as it is striking. Whether they are holding a morning smoothie or an evening cocktail, they bring a quiet coastal beauty to the moment without trying too hard.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Lourdes Martinez
Country: Andes
"Having the opportunity to work with such a moldable product in all its forms as glass becomes a wonderful opportunity to create something completely original.
"It is so satisfying to work with a product that represents a millenary art, not only because of the marked significance that it has had over the years. Though it has been made in different countries of the world, it has become a Mexican handicraft. And Mexico, rich in culture and history, provides us as artists with enough means to obtain inspiration and show the world this art in its different styles.
"I have known glass for years. It took a lot of practice and mistakes to be able to handle it and improve every day. Glass is a material that, once you know it, is so friendly and easy to handle. I particularly like working with recycled glass fragments, melting it at a temperature of 1300 c and adding color with oxides.
"This process allows me to work on 80% of the design and elaboration. Although it is a challenge to give it a current style, it is pleasant to be part of the elaboration process.
I like to focus on each moment find ways to solve the moments that are difficult, and in this way focus on building a happy future." "
