From soda bottle to soccer field to drinking glass. Ngwenya Glass collaborates with schools in Eswatini, encouraging students to participate in clean-up campaigns. The factory sponsors local soccer teams to thank the kids for their community and environmental engagement, and the collected bottles are transformed by artisans into gorgeous glassware. We are enamored with the subtle hue, dramatically tapered bowl and turned stem of this hand-blown cocktail glass. Pair it with the other pieces in the Ngwenya collection to set a modern organic table.
This glass was produced in partnership with Nest, a nonprofit supporting global artisans and U.S. makers using craft to improve their communities.
