Tessera Hand-Painted Mosaic Glass

Preorder today at a special launch price. Shipping begins September 10.

Sunlight goes in clear. It comes out in colour.

Set a Tessera glass near a window and watch the table change. A woven grid of raised glass tiles catches the light, scattering red, cobalt, turquoise and amber across the surface.

Each tile is painted by hand. The palette is fixed. The placement is not — so no two glasses are quite the same.

Colour you can feel

The basket-weave texture is moulded into the glass, not printed on it. Run your fingers across the surface and you can feel every raised tile. It gives the glass texture, grip and weight while making the colour shift as you turn it in the light.

Care

Hand wash in warm water with a soft cloth. Avoid boiling water, hot drinks and sudden temperature changes.

Made by hand

Small bubbles, specks and subtle variations in colour and glass are part of the making process. Measurements may vary by a few millimetres between batches.

Every Tessera is a little different. That is the point.

Complete the set

The same glass with the colour taken out: Tessera Noir. Something to pour from: the Tessera Pitcher — or take both in the Tessera Serving Set and pay less than buying them apart. For the rest of the table, the fruit bowl, the vase and the candy jar.
