La Soufflerie – Hand-blown recycled glass – Murano Glass – Candle

The Murano Moyen Bougie Blue is a hand poured candle in a blue drinking glass, mouth blown from recycled glass by the glassblowers of La Soufflerie in Paris. The straight sided glass is inspired by a 1950s design from Murano, and once the candle has burned down, it becomes a glass for everyday use. Part of The Blue Moon Collection.

Volume: 15 cl
Dimensions: approx. W 7 cm / H 10 cm
Hand poured in Paris with all natural ingredients.
Colour comes from pigments added in the furnace, not from paint, so it will not fade.
Leave about 0.5 cm of wax in the glass, then remove the rest with warm water and soap. Hand wash recommended.

A note on handmade glass
Every piece by La Soufflerie is blown freehand from recycled glass, and it shows. Forms can be slightly uneven or lean a little to one side, and sizes may vary by 1 to 2 cm from piece to piece. Air bubbles, small dark specks, traces of the original recycled glass, tooling marks and the pontil mark on the base are part of the material and of the making. Colour and surface may vary in intensity and texture, so no two pieces are ever the same, and the item you receive will differ from the one in the photos. These are not flawless, factory smooth objects but honest, hand made glass with character.
