Kilkenny, Ireland. From the fiery furnace to your table, at Jerpoint Glass each piece is individually made by hand. The skilled glassblowers form the Jerpoint shapes from red hot molten glass using simple tools and methods that date over 2000 years.HANDBLOWN GLASS: This tea light candle holder is completely made and finished by hand with no moulds used in the making with the result of small variations in size, weight and color distribution. The mark under the base of the glass is known as the pontil mark. During the glass making process the cup part of the glass is closed and attached to the blowing iron. In order to open the cup the glass is transferred onto a second iron, the pontil iron, at the base. The glass is then reheated and opens out at the rim. The pontil-mark is the hallmark of a truly handmade glass. It is because of the traditional techniques used at Jerpoint that each piece of glass is so unique. The Jerpoint Glass recipe has thirteen ingredients approximately 50% of which is silica sand. Other ingredients include potash, lime and borax. CARE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED: For a lifetime of enjoyment with your Jerpoint glass Pitcher please follow these simple care instructions. Wash by hand in lukewarm water.
