Made in Mexico

Last year I was lucky enough to stumble upon a set of hand-blown Mexican drinking glasses in a local shop. I've never liked coloured glass because I think it only looks good with water inside. But, the thin rim of colour on these works really well.

I've got two different sizes of tumbler and each one is totally unique. I really like the irregularity and character that comes from hand-blown glass. Since then I've found some more in gradient turquoise to green which are much smaller. I might use them to serve sorbet or small rich desserts.

The company also makes wine glasses and champagne flutes etc., but I always think that sort of glasswear should be elegant, so I've stuck with my tumblers for now.

Similar glasses can be found online here: Milagros and Magellan Traders
