GLASS ADMITS THE LIGHT

AND REFLECTS IT.

OUR GLASSES ARE ALWAYS HALF FULL.

GLASS

Each Sempre glass piece is individually mouth blown using traditional glassblowing techniques. Following our philosophy, each piece is unique, and no two are exactly the same. Variations in size, color and texture 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!

HOT vs. COLD

Our glassware is made from soda glass, almost like a piece of art in itself. Unlike industrial glassware, this typeof glass is sensitive to temperature differences. If you go from hot to cold abruptly, or vice versa, the glassware can break. Our standard (clear) finish is suitable for serving hot drinks. This is not recommended for all other finishes.

CAUTION REQUESTED

Glass tubes/candle holders/antlers are glued onto their glass base. Please take into consideration that this connection is sensitive to to temperature changes and may detach. This glassware should always be carried/supported at the base. Never just lift it without supporting it. Did it come off despite your caution? Then you can easily glue it with two component (glass-on-glass) glue.

HANDLE WITH CARE

We always prefer hand washing out glasses, using lukewarm water. Most of our glassware is not dishwasher safe due to its composition, by cleaning it manually it stays beautiful for longer. Limescale particles in your dishwasher cause erosion, which results in dull scratches. That would be a shame, right? If you still want to wash it in a dishwasher, add descaler and a glass protector and set it on a gentle program.

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.
