Reclaimed Glass - Cow Glasses

First to recommend

Description

Great gift idea for hostess, a couple, or grandma!

Facts from BTElements:


Cow Glasses
Kids and guests will have a cow over these patterned milk glasses. Choose from frosted cow spots or frosted cup with clear cow spots. Height 4.125 inches, width 4.125 inches, portion 8.5 ounces. Set of four

100% Reclaimed glass bottles

Made in Schofield, Wisconsin

The producers of this glassware take ordinary glass bottles, headed for the landfill and transform them into stylish, unique goblets, tumblers, and vases. The metamorphosis of these bottles turns them into useful, recycled glassware. The top of the wine bottle is flared, narrowed, twisted, and then separated from the bottom of the bottle. Using this procedure, the upper portion is transformed into an elegant goblet, while the remaining lower portion is a sturdy and faithful tumbler. The frosting detail is achieved from environmentally friendly sandblasting rather than acid etching. The company began production in South Africa, and due to international demand, now operates a facility in the USA.
