Mouth Blown with Ancient Techniques and
last Glass blower in Afghanistan
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, but today their is only family in Afghanistan who can practice it. Fortunately we have collaborated for 22 years with the last master 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 colours. With each breath, the glass comes to life, a testament to the enduring beauty of this ancient art form.
Each piece holds its own character — in shape, texture, and colour and when held in your hands, you can even feel its soul.
Within our collections, you'll discover an array of tableware, Vases, Lamp sheets, decorative objects and tiles each piece bearing the mark of this centuries-old craftsmanship.
