ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These handblown glass tumblers emerge from the artisan studios of Oaxaca, Mexico, where skilled craftspeople gather molten recycled glass and shape each piece entirely by hand. The maker uses only recycled soda-silicate glass sourced from carefully cleaned donated bottles, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Every tumbler is fired in furnaces powered by renewable energy, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable craft practices. The colored versions draw inspiration from nature's seasonal palette, showcasing rich tones of falling leaves and winter earth. These colors are integral to the glass itself, never applied as surface treatments, ensuring they remain vibrant for years to come.
At 12 ounces with thoughtful proportions, each tumbler feels perfectly balanced in your hands. The slight variations that come from handcrafting make every piece uniquely yours, bringing authentic artisan beauty to everyday moments of gathering and nourishment.

In Magdalena Apazco, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, Studio Xaquixe makes glass with a purpose: to make a difference through elegant glass pieces. Salime Harp Cruces and Christian Thornton founded the studio in 2002 on a constant commitment to caring for nature, and its name comes from the Zapotec for "at the foot of the mountain."
The studio collects waste glass from more than 100 businesses in the city of Oaxaca and combines it with minerals that give it the clarity of crystal and a wide range of colors, and its pieces are made with up to 97% recycled glass. The studio heats its furnaces with renewable energy, including used cooking oil collected from local restaurants and bars in the city of Oaxaca, and, in the studio's words, every piece is handmade by Mexican hands, with artisans mastering molten glass at 1,300 degrees Celsius.
Xaquixe's mission now reaches Mexico, the United States, Canada and Europe, through pieces that are both useful and decorative and can go in the microwave, the dishwasher and the freezer.

Q: Are these tumblers truly made from recycled materials?
A: Yes, each tumbler is crafted entirely from recycled soda-silicate glass sourced from donated bottles that are hand-cleaned at the artisan studio.

A: The colors are integrated into the molten glass during the handblowing process, not applied as surface treatments, ensuring they never fade or wash away.
Q: What makes these different from machine-made glass tumblers?
A: Every piece is individually handblown by skilled artisans, creating unique variations in thickness and form that machine production cannot replicate.
Q: Are the renewable energy claims verified?
A: Yes, the maker pioneered the use of renewable energy systems to power their glass furnaces and continues expanding clean energy in their community.
Q: Can these handle both hot and cold beverages safely?
A: While suitable for most beverages, avoid extreme temperature changes as handblown glass can be more sensitive to thermal shock than machine-made alternatives.
Q: Do all six tumblers look exactly the same?
A: No, the handcrafted nature means each tumbler has slight variations in size, thickness, and color intensity, making every piece uniquely beautiful.
Q: How should I care for handblown glass long-term?
A: Hand washing with gentle soap preserves the integrity best, and storing with care prevents chips since artisan glass varies in thickness throughout each piece.
