They’re called Beldi glasses because they’re made at the iconic Le Verre Beldi workshop, just outside the Marrakech Medina, the last traditional glass-blowing workshop in Morocco. Every single piece is mouth-blown by artisans using methods that have barely changed in decades.

What makes Beldi glass so special is the material itself: it’s created from 100% recycled glass, melted down and shaped by hand. That’s where the beautiful deep green colour comes from or the texture of clear glass;  it’s the natural hue of recycled Moroccan glass, rich and vibrant when it catches the light. Because each piece is hand-blown, no two are ever identical; tiny waves, air bubbles and variations are all part of its character.

These glasses are the perfect size for water, a short drink, even a small beer, wine and even a ginger shot! They’ve made it into my home, my business, and even my daughter’s home. I adore them, and I hope you will too.

A simple, soulful addition to any kitchen or dining table timeless, functional, and full of Marrakech charm.
