Hand Blown Glass Tealight Candleholder from Mexico, "Iridescence"

Javier and Efrén achieve a subtle iridescent effect with the design of this tealight candle holder. Featuring a bowl within another, the voluptuous tealight holder is crafted with traditional blown glass techniques. The artisan blows through a metal pipe while twirling it with one hand and simultaneously shaping the molten glass at the other end of the tube.

Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship.
