Since the 1990s, Javier Guti'rrez and Efr'n Canteras have worked together to preserve Mexico's blown glass artistry. 'This type of work is a beautiful craft. I love blown glass because of the pure imagination poured into every piece created,' confides Efr'n.
'Even though the art of blowing glass originally came to Mexico from Spain, and it is practiced all over the world, Mexico's blown glass artistry is unique,' says Javier enthusiastically.

Customer Reviews
The set is holding up well. Used once or twice a week for over one year and not a nick or scratch. Very thick glass construction. Bubbles inside the glass speak of its hand-made origins. Feels nice to hold. Goes beautifully with my Polish pottery dishes. Like the idea of encouraging native craftsmen and women. Would definitely buy these again.
One of our wedding gifts years ago was a pitcher and 4 water glasses in the same style as these hand-made wine goblets. We've always loved them. When I saw these, I was quite taken with them. They are beautiful and unique, not to mention sturdy, a great quality since we have a habit of breaking wine glasses.
I purchased this set b/c I have been looking for some sturdy Mexican glass goblets. I purchased similar ones at another store, and one broke on the way home in the car! This set is very sturdy, and attractive. The goblets are smaller than I had hoped for-I was looking for red wine type goblets, these are rather small but still quite nice. I wash them by hand, but I think they would be safe in the top shelf of the dishwasher as well.

The glasses took a few weeks to arrive but when they did I was not disappointed. They are a nice size and a decent weight. You can tell that these glasses are hand made. They are all slightly different in shape and there are tiny bubbles in some of the glass. But, it is these differences that give the glasses character. If you want every glass uniform and perfect do not buy this set!

These are great glasses. We purchased them for our newly built bar room. They are clearly handblown, somewhat rustic and very artistic. They are not uniform, as if made from a mold. They are very fun, feel good in your hand, are interesting to look at and fit the atmosphere we wanted for our bar. We love them.
