How does recycled glass become this beautiful? The transformation begins when our supplier receives bottles from recyclers all over North America, The bottles are washed and sterilized. The bottle is separated into two components; 'head' & 'base' . The 'head' (upper portion of the bottle) and 'base' (lower portion of the bottle) are smoothed, and then fire polished. The base becomes a tumbler (which we sell as well). The neck is then heated, twisted to close it off and finally the original mouth of the bottle is 'flared' to form the new foot of the glass. The newly formed tumblers and goblet s then travel through an annealing (tempering) oven to remove all residual stress in the glass.

Tumbler: 13.5 oz

Goblet: 8.5 oz

These glasses are made from reclaimed Bordeaux bottles and are made from 100% recycled glass. This distinct design carries 'Protect Our Earth' in 4 languages: English, Spanish, Afrikaans (South African) and French. While 'Earth Day' was established in 1970 to promote ecology, respect for life on our earth and highlight the concern of pollution of soil, air and water, we need to ensure that its focus is not relegated to just the one day a year……. it is to become our firm way of life, every day.
This collection comes in both tumblers and goblets.
