Mouth Blown with Ancient Techniques
For two millennia, dating back to the era of the Silk Road, the art of glass blowing has graced the landscapes of Afghanistan. With pride and a rich heritage, we have collaborated for 22 years with the last masters of mouth-blown glass in Afghanistan, who steadfastly uphold this ancient tradition, employing techniques that have remained unchanged over the centuries.
In our craft, the molten glass, carefully placed on a pipe, meets the timeless touch of tradition. On a stone canvas, we embark on a delicate dance—rolling, shaping, and gently blowing, utilizing recycled and naturally sourced colors. With each breath, the glass comes to life, a testament to the enduring beauty of this ancient art form. Yet, this dance is not without risk; a single misstep, and the masterpiece can transform into a vessel adorned with unexpected apertures.
Within our collections, you'll discover an array of tableware, decorative objects, and tiles, each piece bearing the mark of this centuries-old craftsmanship. We invite you to explore the beauty and fragility encapsulated in every breath and movement, as we continue the legacy of glass blowing that has endured through the sands of time.
