Mexican Hand
Blown Glass
Household glassware was unknown to pre-conquest Mexicans. The
first primitive Mexican glassware was produced in Puebla in 1542.
For hundreds of years, with nothing more than a blob of molten
glass, a long hollow pipe, and a few primitive tools, these artisans
have produced glass items in a variety of shapes. Originally,
Mexican glass was called bubble glass because of all the bubbles
produced when methods were not as uniform as today. The blown glass
technique consists of blowing through a pipe onto a red-hot glass
mass, heated in a special oven. As the artisan blows, he can start
molding the piece by turning it around with the pipe. When the piece
starts cooling, using the appropriate tools, any figures can be
molded. Color is added to the glass to give it a wonderful look,
tones and effects. Some very experienced artisans add effect
such as small bubbles in the inside of some pieces.
