This exquisite glassware, handcrafted in the Jalisco region of Western Mexico, embodies not only the essence of traditional craftsmanship but also a commitment to social responsibility. Under the management of Doña Josefina, the workshop prioritizes the integration of those at social disadvantages, offering them stable employment opportunities and nurturing the next generation by providing apprenticeships in the revered art of glassblowing.

The raw material used in creating these unique pieces is 100% recycled glass, aligning with an eco-friendly ethos. The advantages of utilizing recycled glass are manifold. It requires significantly less energy compared to producing new glass since recycled materials melt at lower temperatures. Moreover, glass can be recycled indefinitely without degradation in quality, conserving precious natural resources like quartz sand, soda, and lime. This process not only saves energy but also minimizes environmental impact, a testament to the sustainable practices at the heart of our partner workshop.

Each piece of this collection is hand-blown, ensuring that every item is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Celebrating the rich tradition of Mexican glassblowing, these pieces showcase minor variations in shape, height, and diameter - characteristics that highlight their uniqueness rather than imperfections. Embrace a touch of Mexican heritage and sustainability with every use.
