Etched wine glasses, 'Amber Flowers' (set of 4) Review
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Poised graciously on transparent stems, wine glasses are amber as sunset at sea. These elegant wine glasses are hand blown and etched by Mexico's Efren Canteras using glass-blowing techniques perfected over more than thirty years. Artisan Info: The artistry of Javier and Efren has been featured in periodicals ranging from Sunset magazine to the Miami Herald. For over 15 years, Javier Gutierrez and Efren Canteras have been working together to preserve Mexico's blown glass artistry. "This type of work is a beautiful craft.

"Even though the art of blowing glass originally came to Mexico from Spain, and it is practiced all over the world, Mexico's blown glass artistry is unique," says Javier enthusiastically.
