Mexico is the land of the master craftsman, and among this
group is the glass blower.
The first primitive glass was produced in Puebla around
1535 to 1542. For hundreds of years, with nothing more
than a blob of molten glass, a long hollow pipe, and
a few primitive tools, these artisans have produced
glass items in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Originally, glass was called "bubbles" because
of all the bubbles produced when methods were not as
uniform as today. Now days glass blowers that can blow
large bubbles inside the glassware are considered to
be "Master Blowers"
High-tech factory production methods have
tried to imitate the techniques of our native blowers;
but none have captured the substance, warmth, individuality
of shape, and the elegance of handmade glass.
