Teruel Glass Symphony - Recycled Artisan Glassware

This pitcher, crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, embodies the rich tradition of glassblowing. Under the guidance of Doña Josefina, the workshop not only champions the cause of integrating socially disadvantaged individuals back into the workforce but also extends opportunities to the youth by training them in this highly respected craft. The material utilized in the creation of this unique pitcher is entirely sourced from 100% recycled glass.

The benefits of using recycled glass are manifold: it consumes less energy during the recycling process as recycled glass melts at a considerably lower temperature than the raw materials needed for new glass production. Moreover, glass can be recycled repeatedly without any loss in quality, contributing significantly to conservation by reducing the need for raw materials such as quartz sand, soda, and lime. This not only conserves resources but also diminishes the environmental impact typically associated with the manufacturing process.

Each pitcher is a testament to the skill and dedication of its maker, a true piece of Mexican artisan tradition. Expect slight variations in shape, height, and diameter – these are not flaws but rather signs of its unique, handcrafted nature.
