Arona Recycled Glassworks - Jalisco Artisan Recycled Glasses

This exquisite wine glass hails from a glassblowing workshop located in the Jalisco region of Western Mexico, an area celebrated for its rich crafting traditions. Under the guidance of Doña Josefina, the workshop not only focuses on creating stunning pieces of glassware but also plays a crucial role in social integration. By providing stable employment and offering vocational training in glassblowing—a highly respected craft—it aids individuals, especially the youth, in reintegrating into the professional workforce.

Crafted exclusively from 100% recycled glass, this wine glass is not only a testament to impeccable artistry but also a pledge to sustainability. Recycling glass consumes less energy compared to producing new glass because it melts at lower temperatures. Moreover, glass can be recycled endlessly without any loss in quality, thus saving substantial amounts of raw materials such as quartz sand, soda, and lime. This process significantly reduces the environmental impact typically associated with glass production.

Each wine glass is mouth-blown, making it a unique piece of Mexican craftsmanship. The slight variations in shape, height, and diameter are not imperfections but rather hallmarks of its uniqueness. Owning one of these glasses means embracing a piece of Mexican heritage, demonstrating both a taste for fine wine and a commitment to environmental conservation.
