Let’s talk about ‘Ribbed’.
‘Ribbed’ is our brand new range of coloured glassware, of course. We thought we’d take a moment to explain the craftsmanship that goes into creating each and every item.
These lovely products are designed and produced in India, where skilled craftspeople use a mouth-blown crafting process directly from traditional furnaces. What’s the mouth-blown process we hear you say? Well, we’re glad you asked. First, the coloured dye is added, then the hot glass is gathered onto one end of a blowpipe then the product is formed with air pressure applied by mouth - not a machine in sight.
To achieve that stand out ribbed effect, the glass is then intensely heated and hand-moulded into shape. Because this is a manual method by skilled artisans, no two pieces will be exactly alike. You can expect extra little bubbles, variations in thickness, and even in colour sometimes.
Available in sets of six across three colours, they're perfect for home decor and gift shops alike.
So, are you ‘Ribbed’ fans like us…?
