Handmade Set of 6 Blown Glass Tumblers, Caramel Fantasy (Mexico)

Description

Momox and Murillo select a warm palette of colors for the design of these juice glasses. In brown, red, orange and yellow, each glass is expertly crafted by hand in the renowned hand-blown glass techniques of Mexico. Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship. Subtle scratches may be present as residue from cleaning the glass.Product Features:Worldstock Country: MexicoType: Juice GlassMaterial: GlassSet Size: Set of 6Care Instruction: Hand WashColor: Orange, BrownStory Behind the Art:I’m Salvador Momox, from the state of Coahuila, and moved to Jalisco to study engineering with a specialization in quality. After some time I visited Salvador Murillos glass workshop and I was immediately taken by the shapes and colors of what I saw there. I left with a desire to learn more. I returned with an offer to form a partnership and we started with a shop, selling the work of a man who had a glass workshop. We weren’t crafting anything yet. After a while our friend, the owner of the glass workshop, passed away and the workshop had to close down. Since our venture was growing we thought we could keep the workshop going and in February 2013 we took the plunge with our savings and some loans and became blown glass producers. We encountered several challenges at first, due to the high costs. We both have had to make personal sacrifices, but we have taken on the challenge of balancing our work and the development of our venture with our dedication to our respective families. It has been gratifying for us knowing we didn’t give up, we continue to forge ahead, and that our customers are visibly pleased with our work. I’m in charge of the blown glass process and logistics as well as accounting and dealing with suppliers as well as customers. Murillo is in charge of the workshop, retail sales, and the forged iron lamps we also specialize in. He is quite knowledgeable about these lamps, because that’s what his parents used to do. However this is an art you’re constantly learning from. Despite some difficulties and our lack of experience, the people in our team placed their trust in our capabilities and together we have made this venture grow. People wishing to join our team must be driven by a desire to develop professionally, and though we already have a good team were hoping to evolve so we can offer more jobs to the community. Our main material is recycled glass, properly washed and cleaned before melting. We prepare most of our colors, and some we purchase. The most intricate part of our process is finding the right point for melting the glass as well as finding the right color combination for our designs. When we create our products we want to make sure that people can perceive the handcrafted, top quality, artistry within each piece. We always aim to create designs that are modern and new, with the vibrant colors that distinguish Mexican artesanias. As an association we are concerned with each members progress, offering the best salaries. We are genuinely interested in each persons private life too and try to support them the best way possible. We have also offered work to older people who are living with arthritis or Parkinson disease because we strongly believe in offering a fair chance to everyone. What is Worldstock? The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
