Story Behind the Art:
Since the 1990s, Javier Gutierrez and Efren Canteras have worked together to preserve Mexico's blown glass artistry. '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.' I was 15 years old when I began blowing glass. Now I have the opportunity to teach the art of blowing hot glass to other young artisans. I start by employing people as my assistants, but I aim to train them to be experts, glass blowers equipped with a beautiful and useful skill.' Working as a team, Javier specializes in the design of the pieces, and Efren transforms the designs into a reality.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

I ordered these shot glasses thinking they were single shot glasses - they are in fact double shot glasses, a bit larger than I was expecting. Having said that, however, they are very stylish, made with excellent workmanship, and look great. Even though I had expected a true single shot glass, I am still, overall, happy with the purchase and would recommend to a friend. It would be nice if information did clarify a little more, but I do expect to buy more glassware from Mexico in the near future. Overall rating - worth the purchase!
