Phoenician Glass Vase
Recycled bottles are smashed into pieces then melted in high temperature ovens. Artisans then add substances to the molten glass, giving each handblown piece a distinct blend of colors and patterns. The result is a unique, handcrafted vase fit for both your most elaborate and most minimalist bouquets.
This process takes an especially skilled hand and is reserved for the true masters of the art. Read more about our Phoenician glass blowers below.
