Simple is beautiful in this green-rimmed, clear, handblown pitcher. The Cantel Blown Glass Artisans of Guatemala handcraft the pitcher using glass salvaged from industrial and individual sources, transforming it into something beautiful.

"There are very few natural displays of color that are as beautiful as the Aurora Borealis. That ethereal show of color produced by the Northern Lights inspired the design of our 'Aurora' collection," Cantel Blown Glass Artisans explain. They craft the voluptuous pitcher by hand, using traditional blown glass techniques featuring swirling lines of color like orange, yellow, green and red underscored by aqua blue.

Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship.

The serene blues of the Mexican Caribbean are repeated in a hand-woven hammock. It invites a blissful afternoon with a pitcher of iced tea and a good book. Maya Artists of the Yucatán create it in the same way they have for centuries.

Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.

Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in color from those shown in the images.
