GLASS ADMITS THE LIGHT

AND REFLECTS IT.

OUR GLASSES ARE ALWAYS HALF FULL.

GLASS

Each Sempre glass piece is individually mouth-blown using traditional glassmaking techniques. In keeping with our philosophy, each piece is unique, and no two are exactly the same. Variations in size, color, and structure are to be expected and celebrated.

Origin

As early as 3500BC, people started using glass for decorative purposes. A challenging, handmade process that kept getting developed until the 1900s when glass became a manufactured good. From vases to drinking glasses and windows, there is an endless list of possibilities.

Process

Master glassblowers at our factories form beautiful designs that are created by hand. They reflect our look on perfection or the lack thereof. Not one design is ever the same, and the special crackled or fogged finishes make them even more magical.

Destinantion

Flowers are fanned out in the vases we create. A hand-squeezed lemonade or a freshly poured beer taste even better from a one-of-a-kind mouthblown glass than from a factory-made bottle. Surprise your guests with these hand made objects!

FAST HEATING

Our glassware can contain air bubbles and is sensitive to temperature differences because of the traditional production process. Fast cooling or heating may damage or even break the glass. Therefore, we advise extra carefulness, including during washing, which we recommend doing by hand. Glass items that carry a seal are particularly sensitive to heat, so we strongly advise not to pour hot drinks or liquids in them. Our glassware is not microwave and dishwasher safe.

CAUTION REQUESTED

Glass tubes/candle holders/antlers are glued onto their glass base. Please take into consideration that this glue is sensitive to temperature changes and can come loose. We advise that glassware is always carried/supported at the base and never lifted solely by the tubes/candle holders/antlers. Should the glass come loose, it can be glued back together with two-component (glass-to-glass) glue.

SPECIAL CARE

Glassware with a textile and sanded finish requires special care: do not immerse it in water! You can only clean the inside of these pieces carefully with water. The outer surface should not come in contact with water, as this will compromise the finish.

CANDLES

Due to the artisanal production, our candleholders never have the exact same diameter, so it might be necessary to size down the candle’s diameter by hand. For that reason, Sempre candles are always fully colored. Don’t let the candles burn too closely to the candleholder to prevent the glass from cracking.
