Blown glass

Blown glass is a handcrafted material of great beauty and exceptional quality. It is created by heating solid glass until malleable, then blowing it through a hollow tube. This process creates a unique, organic shape, with subtle variations that add a natural charm to each piece. Each piece of blown glass is unique, bearing the subtle marks of the handwork and expertise of the artisan who created it.

Know-how

1140 degrees

In a permanently lit 1140°C furnace, a small colored ball is fused to infuse a first bubble: this is the birth of every blown glass object. We will then plunge our rod into a lava basin to enclose this transparent glass bubble by "picking" the glass. What follows is a rapid and precise sequence of gestures and multiple tools, from the wooden mallet to the stainless steel irons, we shape, we blow, we cut. The molten bubble is immersed in a first impression mold: the ribbed mold, which gives these characteristic grooves. These lines will remain visible provided we work quickly so as not to remelt them in the furnace flame. A challenge of speed and precision at all times. This ribbed bubble will then be placed in a mold, and will become a glass or a carafe! Before a slow cooling in a second oven dedicated to stabilizing production, each object is detached from its axis, a blowtorch is used to recast this "navel" of creation. On this heated and finely recast area, we can finally affix this signature M, M for Maison MARAH.
