Each vessel is individually mouth-blown, featuring a slightly irregular, organic silhouette that only hand-crafted glass can achieve.

The true 'jewelry' of these pieces lies in the vibrantly colored applied prunts—jewel-toned droplets of blue and amber glass that are fused to the body while molten. These 'dots' provide a sophisticated, textured grip that feels as wonderful as it looks.
Substantial in weight and generous in scale, this rare, large set is perfectly suited for a fully-stocked home bar or a curated mid-century modern landscape. Whether serving a neat pour or a complex cocktail, these beauties bring a playful yet elevated spirit to any gathering.

Origin Details

Artisanal Heritage: This style is characteristic of Mexican glassblowing centers, particularly in regions like Tlaquepaque and Tonala.
Material: They are frequently crafted from recycled glass, which gives them that slight, charming greenish-blue tint and occasional tiny bubbles within the glass.
Technique: The "applied prunts" (those jewelry-like dots) are a traditional Mexican technique often referred to as a "confetti" or "pebbled" design. See less
