Tumblers, 'Multicolor' (set of 6)

Gemstone mysteries tint these tumbler glasses, their amethyst, amber, and cobalt hues reminiscent of ancient dinner sets. Efren Canteras works with a talented team of artisans to craft these glasses, their well-timed interventions resulting in glassware of rustic appeal and captivating allure. An ideal set of six, these glasses will entertain guests with exotic fruit drinks. Set includes two glasses for each color.

Over thirty years of experience has resulted in Efren Cantera's superior ability to create imaginative yet functional works, achieving an incredible clarity with the material. Pieces of glass are melted at high temperatures and gathered with the end of hollow tubes. The artisan blows through one end spinning quickly and shaping before the glass cools. The entire glass blowing technique requires the combined efforts of at least 7 people, culminating with Canteras as he hand-shapes each individual item. It is for this reason that each piece is unique.

Please note that as each piece is individually handmade, slight variations (+/- 0.6 in) in the shape and size of the glass are likely, making every item a distinct example of blown-glass craftsmanship. Tiny bubbles within the surface exemplify Canteras’ singular, rustic technique.
