Each piece of Xaquixe glassware begins with reclaimed glass, carefully melted and shaped by master artisans. The glass is gathered, blown, and sculpted into organic forms, with subtle curves and textures that reflect its handmade nature.

The final step is annealing—a slow cooling process that strengthens the glass, ensuring that each tumbler, carafe, and pitcher isn’t just beautiful, but durable enough for everyday use. The variations in color, shape, and texture make every piece unique—small reminders that human hands, not machines, created them.

Beyond glass, Xaquixe is deeply invested in sustaining local craftsmanship. They train artisans in glassblowing, providing meaningful employment and preserving a skill that has been fading in many parts of Mexico. Their commitment extends beyond their own craft, too—they’ve developed sustainable ovens for traditional totopo makers, helping local women-run bakeries reduce firewood use and smoke pollution.

This ethos of care—care for the craft, for the community, and for the planet—is what makes Xaquixe truly extraordinary.
