Orihuela Heritage Glass - Eco-Friendly Artisanal Tumblers

Our wine glass, hailing from a traditional glassblowing workshop in the Jalisco region of western Mexico, symbolizes the union of artistry and social responsibility. Managed by Doña Josefina, this establishment not only masters the craft of glassblowing but also champions the social integration of underprivileged individuals by offering them stable employment and training the youth in this esteemed trade. The workshop’s commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in its exclusive use of 100% recycled glass.

Choosing to recycle glass carries numerous benefits:
- It conserves energy as recycled glass melts at much lower temperatures than the raw materials required for new glass production.
- Glass can be infinitely recycled without any loss in purity or quality.
- Using recycled glass conserves natural resources such as quartz sand, soda, and lime, and significantly reduces the ecological footprint associated with glass production.

Each of our hand-blown wine glasses is a testament to Mexican craftsmanship, a unique piece with slight variations in shape, height, and diameter - not imperfections, but hallmarks of its individuality.
