Handblown Hebron Phoenician Glass Wide Cups - Light blue (Set of 2)

In the historic quarters of Hebron, a handful of small, family-owned workshops remain the keepers of an ancient flame. Since the 12th century, these artisans have mastered the Phoenician techniques that served as the very foundation for the world’s most famous glass traditions. During the Middle Ages, Venice’s vast trade networks allowed them to import these advanced Middle Eastern methods, leading to the celebrated rise of Murano luxury. To hold this glass is to possess the original blueprint of a global masterpiece, preserved in one of the last places on earth where these ancient methods endure.

The Artistry
Reminiscent of sea glass shaped by the tide, each wide-profile cup in this curated set is a singular work of art. Defined by ethereal swirls of color and a substantial, handblown texture, these generous vessels bring a luminous, ancestral grace to the modern table. Designed for the connoisseur of functional beauty, the wide silhouette offers a versatile canvas for light—transitioning effortlessly from a sophisticated drinking glass for spirits and water to an elegant mini-vase or a prismatic candle holder. The organic variations in every glass are a testament to a craft that few in the world still practice.
