** 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 combine drops of different sizes and colours!
The colors and shapes are beautiful, and of course each drop is a unique piece because it is blown without a mould, no two drops are identical, which is also their charm. The glass is dyed in the massThis gives a very nice effect of colour shades (watch the video of the workshop).
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.
The way of production had to deal with a smaller number of artisan blowers, and the high cost of fuel to run the kilns.
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.
