FAQ
What is handblown recycled glassware?
Handblown recycled glassware is made by melting discarded glass and shaping it by hand into new pieces. Each glass has slight variations in shape, color, and texture, which are part of its handmade character.
Is handblown glassware durable enough for everyday use?
Yes. Our handblown glassware is thicker and sturdier than most glassware. It is designed to be used for everyday meals, drinks, gatherings, and celebrations. As with all glassware, handle with care and avoid sudden temperature changes.
Is the glassware dishwasher safe?
Yes, our handblown glassware is dishwasher safe, though hand washing can help preserve its beauty over time.
Why are there small bubbles or variations in the glass?
Small bubbles can form when tiny pockets of air or gas become trapped in the molten glass before it cools. Because our recycled glassware is shaped by hand, slight bubbles, color variations, and subtle differences in shape are a natural part of the glassblowing process — not flaws. They are signs of handmade glass and make each piece unique.
What types of glassware does Intertwined carry?
Intertwined carries handblown recycled glassware such as wine glasses, stemless wine glasses, bodega wine glasses, tumblers, old-fashioned glasses, martini glasses, and other colorful artisan glasses, depending on availability. Our bodega wine glasses are short, versatile tumblers inspired by the casual glasses often used in Italy and Spain for serving wine, water, or small pours at everyday meals.
