These glasses have been made from from one original Tanquarey gin bottle. Split bottle glasses, as we call them. The goblet is approx 10cm high and holds approx 150ml, the tumbler is 14cm high and holds approx 500mlThese glasses make perfect gifts for people who love gin, like something a little bit unusual or are environmentally conscious. In fact, these are are glasses a vodka lover would like for any occassion. This style of glass is popular as a gift for a couple, for example as an anniversary gift or a new home present. After studying glass making at university, I have been working professionally with recycled glass for over 20 years, selling my work at Covent Garden and Spittalfields craft markets in london. Over that time I have worked hard to design my tools and techniques to ensure the glasses have a very smooth, rounded rim. The packaging we use is 100% recyclable and we encourage you to recycle/reuse it afterwards.The majority of the bottles I use come from bars and restaurants in London, plus a few friends who leave their empty bottles on the doorstep of my East London workshop! We are passionate about recycling and giving new life to old bottles.If you have an empty bottle from a celebration or special occassion I can often turn that into a clcok, vase or set of glasses.
