ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These small glass tumblers tell a story of renewal and artistry. Each piece begins as discarded glass bottles, carefully gathered and transformed by skilled artisans in the hills of Oaxaca. The molten glass is shaped entirely by hand, with no two pieces exactly alike.
The gentle curves and natural variations speak to the human touch behind each tumbler. Colors inspired by autumn leaves and winter earth are achieved through recycled colored glass, creating permanent hues that never fade or wash away. The sustainable process includes renewable energy sources, making each sip a mindful choice.
Perfect for slow morning rituals or evening gatherings, these 5-ounce tumblers bring intentional beauty to daily moments. The set of six creates a foundation for meaningful connections around your table, where every glass carries the story of transformation and craft.

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.
