The land of the master craftsman, among this group is the glass blower. Glass making was unintentionally discovered by potters around 3000 B.C. Although these original glassworks were short lived, glass blowing was reintroduced hundreds of years ago and flourished, due largely to the simplicity of the ingredients and the ingenuity of the Arts and Crafts
Tradition.


Watching the artisans at their craft is mesmerizing, the technique is truly fascinating. Magellantraders.com features functional items like glasses, pitchers, and a variety of colored tableware plates from the Czech Republic, as well as many other decorative items and gifts for your home and garden.

Glass blowers use lead-free glass.
All of our Glassware is also dishwasher safe. No two pieces are ever exactly alike in size or shape, which adds to their charm.
Pitcher sold separately, glasses in sets of six only.


PLEASE NOTE:
As every glass is individually blown and shaped slight variations in size and colors are normal.
The process also creates occasional small trapped bubbles. In short — no two glasses are exactly alike — which of course is part of the beauty and charm.

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.
