Our chunky recycled glasses are handmade in a family run workshop in Mexico - the country that also inspires the wonderful colours they come in. Each glass is shaped by hand and eye using techniques that date back a thousand years - and the fact that each one is a slightly different size and shape is part of their enduring charm.
These wine glasses will work perfectly for every occasion - from a smart dinner party to that 6pm glass of wine at the end of the day. The only problem is they take rather a lot of wine so you might get through the bottle a bit quicker than you used to…! Look great with our chunky tumblers too.
We send the glasses wrapped in the Mexican newspaper they come in - a fun way of getting across the fact that they are made in Mexico!
Handmade glass can never be 'dishwasher proof' however it is usually pretty resistant to being put through a dishwasher. Dishwashers also tend, eventually, to dull the glass.

Please note our current stock of wine glasses have clear bottoms.
RECYCLED - This glassware is made from pepsi bottles at the end of their recycling life and other discarded glass. The glass is melted down and then blown; the colour is added during this process. It is a myth that recycling glass uses more energy than it saves. Recycling two glass bottles saves the equivalent energy of boiling 5 cups of water - which seems a small saving until you take into account that 2.4 tonnes of glass end up in landfill per year.
