Phoenician Glass Goblet
Phoenician Glass Goblet
Cheers! Drinking from this one-of-a-kind art piece, a handblown Phoenician Glass Goblet, makes every occasion a celebration. Handcrafted in swirling Phoenician glass by artisans of Hebron Glass & Ceramic Factory. Recycled bottles are smashed into pieces and melted in high-temperature ovens. In Phoenician glass blowing, artisans add substances to the molten glass, resulting in a reaction that creates the trademark swirling colors. Working with this process takes an incredibly skilled hand, at least five years of apprenticeship, and reserved for the true experts of the art. This is a heritage craft, often with family recipe secrets passed down through generations. Phoenician glass is so prized that it is gifted for weddings. Every Phoenician Glass Goblet has a unique blend of color and pattern, making each one one of a kind.
