Inca Glass Echoes - Recycled Mexican Blown Glass

Discover the charming elegance of CRUSHED AZUL, a masterpiece of craftsmanship hailing from the heart of Jalisco, Mexico. In this region, a dedicated workshop under the meticulous leadership of Doña Josefina takes pride in its noble mission. Not only is it committed to fostering social integration by providing stable employment opportunities, it also nurtures the next generation into the esteemed art of glassblowing.

At the core of our production is a sustainable choice – the use of 100% recycled glass. The benefits of utilizing such material are profound. Recycling glass demands significantly lower energy compared to new production as it melts at reduced temperatures. Moreover, glass can be remelted repeatedly without any loss in quality, thereby saving precious natural resources like quartz sand, soda, and lime from depletion. This eco-friendly process also considerably minimizes environmental pollutants often associated with traditional glass manufacturing.

Every piece of CRUSHED AZUL is a testament to the unique tradition of Mexican craftsmanship. These mouth-blown glasses are not mere vessels, but individual tokens of artistry. Each exhibits subtle variations in shape, size, and diameter – characteristics not of imperfection, but of distinctiveness. Embrace the beauty of CRUSHED AZUL and celebrate a rich heritage of skilled craft blended seamlessly with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.
