White Blue Handblown Recycled Glass Highball Glasses (Pair) - Modern Blue
Sourced
Guarantee
Bold at the base, crystal clear at the top, this duo of highball glasses wears its white and blue swirls like a signature that refuses to be subtle. Created by Mexican artisan Lourdes Martinez and handblown from recycled glass, each one captures the kinetic energy of the glassblowing process itself, the color frozen mid-motion into something that looks more sculpted than crafted. An eco-friendly pair that brings real visual impact to any bar or table setting.

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." "
