Linares Heritage Glasses - Eco-Friendly Artisan Blown Glasses
This handcrafted glass originates from a renowned glassblowing workshop located in Jalisco, a western region of Mexico. The establishment is run by Doña Josefina, a figure committed to the welfare of the socially underprivileged. Her dedication extends to providing stable employment opportunities that facilitate their reintegration into the professional world. Additionally, she offers young individuals training in a respected field, glassblowing, thereby nurturing the next generation of craftsmen.
The material used in these creations is exclusively recycled glass, aligning with our commitment to environmental sustainability. The benefits of utilizing recycled glass include a reduction in energy consumption due to the lower melting point of recycled material compared to the raw substances required for new glass production. Furthermore, glass can be recycled endlessly without diminishing its quality, thus conserving resources like quartz sand, soda, and limestone. This process not only saves these vital resources but also significantly mitigates environmental impacts associated with traditional glass manufacturing methods.
Each piece of this collection is mouth-blown, making it a unique testament to Mexican artisanal heritage. The variance in size, shape, and diameter between each glass highlights its individuality and authenticity, celebrating the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.
