Olivia Swirl Tumbler, Pink - Set Of 4

The swirl in a mallorcan blown glass is as structural as it is decorative the natural consequence of two colours of molten glass twisted together on the blowpipe by a hand that knows exactly when to stop turning. Leave it a fraction too long and the swirl tightens into something rigid. Stop a fraction too soon, and it dissolves. The glassblowers of the balearic islands have been reading that moment for a thousand years.Jj first saw this set of 4 on a terrace in deià, where the afternoon light came through them at an angle that turned the table pink. She has been chasing that particular quality of light on a london dinner table ever since. In the right conditions, she has found, these glasses produce it reliably.
