Novica Fiesta Azul (Set Of 6) Hand Blown Beer Mugs

Novica works together with talented artists, artisans, and designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake handmade treasures.About this item: These appealing beer mugs in a cool blue shade are crafted by Oscar Preciado in Mexico. He gives new life to recycled bottles, melting and then hand-blowing them into the desired shape. The slightly fluted shape lends itself to any table setting. 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.Hand wash onlyNot dishwasher safePromotes recycling and reduces wasteThis hand blown item may vary slightly in color, size and shapeAbout our Artist: My brothers Jorge, Hugo, Carlos and I learned the art of glass blowing when we were just kids. It was thanks to my uncle Roberto Elias, who taught this trade. He was one of the first artisans to receive attention in Guadalajara. It was thanks to being close that we learned the process in its entirety. The pieces that are created seem magical; since no two pieces are the same. My inspiration is in sudden ideas, since you cant create new pieces and innovate those that have already been created. The beginning of this adventure represented an appealing challenge, since only the family knows the essence of our technique. We had to position our design and maintain a quality that allows us to support our love of technique. Our raw material is recycled glass that is obtained from tequila bottles. The process itself is a delight to watch. After 44 years in this trade, it has taught us so much. We have learned to have an open heart to new experiences. Thanks to the flexibility, anyone can create magical pieces.
