Story

Passed down through generations, the glassblowers of Herat continue to preserve this rare and fading craft. Each piece begins with discarded glass and collected bottles gathered throughout the city, melted inside a traditional wood-fired furnace until molten. At precisely the right moment, the glass is drawn from the annealer and shaped entirely by hand, using techniques refined over centuries. Color is achieved naturally through mineral powders — copper for greens and blues, iron for warmer amber tones — added directly into the melt. Made slowly and with intention, each vessel carries forward one of Afghanistan’s oldest living craft traditions.

Herat Glassblowers

In the ancient city of Herat, glassblowing has been passed down through generations of one family. Today, brothers Ghulam Sekhi and Ustad Nasrullah, alongside Nasrullah’s son Khairullah, are among the last remaining traditional glassblowers practicing this craft in the region.

Taught by their fathers and grandfathers from a young age, glassblowing is more than a profession — it is a family legacy. It’s not only their work, it’s their history. Despite decades of conflict and a decline in local demand, they continue with deep pride and responsibility, determined to pass their knowledge to the next generation. For this family, keeping the fire lit is an act of devotion — to their ancestors, to their students, and to one of Afghanistan’s oldest living craft traditions.

As glowing irl as they look in the catalog
These glasses are truly jewel-like. The colors are very clear and intense. The bubbles are charming and make each glass more animated. The slightly off-center tilt is clearly hand-blown. The packaging is phenomenal. For such delicate objects, nothing was broken!!!

Simple but special
Super into the recycled glass texture! It has this cool, imperfect look that makes it feel one-of-a-kind. I’m definitely keeping this one around. Love finding artisan pieces like this.

I love these glasses
It’s a thrill to drink out of these glasses. They are beautifully made. The color is gorgeous I also feel great satisfaction in supporting an artisan in a disadvantaged country.
