Sourced

Designed by Mexico's Lourdes Martinez, these blue highball glasses carry the quiet drama of a deep-water current frozen in glass. Handblown from recycled glass, each one is wrapped in layers of swirling, speckled hues that seem to move as light passes through, making every drink poured into them look like something conjured rather than mixed. Tall, sturdy and effortlessly beautiful, they turn any countertop into a display worth admiring.

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." "
