** Please note that as these drops are unique handmade pieces, there may be slight differences between the drop you receive and this photo.
Feel free to mix and match drops of different sizes and colours!
The colors and shapes are beautiful, and of course each drop is a unique piece As they are blown without a mould, no two drops are exactly alike, which is also part of their charm. The glass is dyed in the massThis gives a very nice effect of colour shades (watch the workshop video).
Dar Dar House (formerly Maison d'Alep) works with 2 glassblowers' workshops in Damascus. The work of these workshops is of course greatly affected by the particularly difficult situation in Syria over the last few years.
Production methods had to adapt to a smaller number of glassblowers and the high cost of the fuel required to operate the furnaces.
But these Syrian craftsmen continue to work, to practice their trade according to an ancestral technique. In this way they ensure their own subsistence and the transmission of this traditional know-how.
