When the holiday season comes to a close, I am always left with a mix of feelings.
Happiness over having spent quality time with my loved ones; joy from seeing my children’s faces as they experience the magic and wonder of the season; fatigue from all of the shopping, wrapping and cooking; motivated over the arrival of yet another new year; and more.
However, I’m also always left with a small tinge of disappointment. The holidays have ended and now I have to wait another 365 days until I have a reliable excuse to dust off my tableware and invite friends and family over to entertain?
Not this year. Because in 2015 I am inspired to host every possible shindig, soiree, party, meal or evening with the ladies thanks to my amazing Ruby Globe Set of 4 Hand Blown Wine Glasses.
I am beyond enamored with these stunning wine glasses and the way that they manage to turn a simple tumbler into a work of handmade art! I was a bit reluctant to order something so delicate and trust that it would make the trip from Mexico without getting cracked or broken, but they arrived packaged extremely safely and securely.
Not a single scratch on any of the eight glasses from the two sets!
I couldn’t be happier that I took the chance on ordering glasses internationally, as the artisan team of Javier Gutiérrez and Efrén Canteras perfectly preserve Mexico’s blown glass artistry in each of these goblets. Their full, rounded shape and the pop of red on the rim (these are also available with the rim colored in blue, green or amber) are the ideal complement to the smooth, clear of the glass.
Each one truly surprised me with the thickness of the glass and the overall weight and quality!
Even better, as these are hand blown glasses, each one has the tiniest of imperfections and a bubble or two within the glass that make them even more amazingly unique! Instead of pulling out the generic, dull, cheap wine glasses that I previously owned, these hand-blown beauties are not only functional and useful, but show my support for the artisans’ talent for blown glass craftsmanship.
Whether enhancing the richness of red wine or helping keep white wine chilled, my Ruby Globe Set of 4 Hand Blown Wine Glasses are now the main attraction on my table and have received compliment after compliment. No need for an excuse to entertain, I can’t wait to continue to share the beauty of these gorgeous glasses at every upcoming bash, big or small!
