+ - What is the origin of handblown glass?

The art of glass blowing dates back to almost 50 BC when Syrian craftsmen invented the technique. Its popularity grew with the rise of the Roman Empire, taking it through Europe and then to parts of Asia and the Middle East. Soon after, the beauty and utility of blown glass made it widely known and desired around the world.The first glass made in North America was produced in Puebla, Mexico around 1535 by artisans from Spain. Handblown glass arrived in the Guadalajara area in 1820.Central Americas first blown glass factory opened in Guatemala in 1970. Its founders learned the art from local people, which made them valuable assets for two more factories that opened in 1972. Over the years, a small community of artisans from Quetzaltenango came together to create Cantel Blown Glass Artisans, a cooperative that works together with Novica to share these unique creations with the world.

Handblown glass dangle earrings, 'Fuchsia Tree'

Finely crafted but very 'Barbie' pink!

These are beautiful earrings that I bought for myself but will be giving to my young niece instead. Despite the clue in the name 'fuchsia tree," I did not expect these to be quite so hot pink. I guess my monitor color was muted a bit. They are really nicely made and not as fragile as one might expect. I'm sure my niece will be thrilled to receive them!

Perfect gift

The earrings are so very pretty and unique. They feel light when wearing which is important. I gave as a present, and my niece was so happy to receive them! I have seen her wear them repeatedly and I just gave them to her one week ago!
