Kilkenny, Ireland. From the fiery furnace to your table, at Jerpoint Glass each piece is individually made by hand. The skilled glassblowers form the unique Jerpoint shapes from red hot molten glass using simple tools and methods that date over 2000 years.HANDBLOWN GLASS: This Vase is completely made and finished by hand with no moulds used in the making which may result in small variations in size, weight and color distribution. Small bubbles may appear because it is hand-blown glass. Bubbles are part of the charm of a hand-blown piece and add to the character. 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 unique.CARE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED: For a lifetime of enjoyment with your Jerpoint glass Vase please follow these simple care instructions. Wash by hand in lukewarm water. We do not recommend Jerpoint glass products for use in a dishwasher. For best results, polish your glass with a good quality linen cloth.
