Nightstand Carafe with Water Glass

Nightstand water carafe with drinking glass that serves as a cap.

Handblown in Cairo from recycled glass. 

The family of Mr. Hassan Hudhud has been producing glass since the last quarter of the 18th century, passing the business on from one generation to the next. Today's workshop is located next the historic Qaytbay mosque in Cairo, where 24 artisans master the art of making glass. Mr. Hassan was awarded a certificate from UNESCO for playing a unique role in keeping the art of glass-making alive, as crafts like his are slowly diminishing.

Shababik imports his work through the help of Fair Trade Egypt which has been collaborating with Hassan since 2012.
