Details

Alberto Ramírez conjures an amber fantasy for the dynamic design of this set of six martini glasses. The Mexican artisan crafts each glass by hand with blown glass techniques, transforming molten beverage bottles into an eco-friendly work of art.

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.

Meet the Artist

Alberto Ramirez

"What I like most about this art is working with people who make art a part of their working life and become master blown-glass artisans."

"My name is Alberto Ramirez and I create blown glass. I've worked in this art since I was 15 years old, helping artisans... in different workshops and learning about this craft from them bit by bit.

"After working for so long, I wanted to start my own workshop. When I was young, an older neighbor asked me several times why I didn't start my own glass factory and I always replied that I needed a lot of money and hard work for that. Of course, this was when I was younger but, after getting married, my thinking changed since I needed to earn more. I also wanted to be an example to my family and friends, who had their own successful enterprises. It was a big motivator to improve myself and provide more for my family, which pushed me to venture out on my own.

"With effort, enthusiasm and the support of my wife, who not only encouraged me, but also helped buy a piece of land, we started to make this dream come true.

"After having a place to work, I needed material for the workshop, so I decided to look for used fireclay bricks. I went to a factory where I used to work because, after being in operation for 35 years, it had closed and was being dismantled. After I spoke with one of the partners, he decided to support my venture.

"With this help, I started out on my own in March of 2001. It was very difficult in the beginning since I had no experience in managing a workshop and I had only attended high school for three semesters. We managed to stay open for six months, but then had to close since we didn't have any work and I grew tired of not seeing any results. Some time later, my wife's friend put us in contact with a client and we were able to start working again without interruption.

"Our primary material is glass, which we buy from recyclers. We also get pigments from suppliers. What I like most about this art is working with people who make art a part of their working life and become master blown-glass artisans.

"Our greatest challenges are the high costs of gas and labor, since each piece involves 8 to 14 people to complete and several production lines in a complex process. But we can offer work to many people in the community and help them become skilled artisans, as none of our blown glass designs are machine-made.

"My brother helps me and we both train the artisans who work with us. We also design and participate in all the crafting processes.

"I dream of a bigger workshop in a better location and with better structure. I want to make my workshop one of the best in the country. Once I retire, my dream is to pass it on to good hands and keep the tradition of artisanal blown glass alive."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
