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
