Phoenician Glass Vase
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.
