Arnolfo di Cambio Smoke set of 2 Double Old Fashion glasses are hand made in Italy. Smoke Glasses were introduced in 1963 by Joe Colombo with a slightly outdated function that has evolved into a timeless design. The Arnolfo di Cambio Smoke crystal glass was originally designed to allow users to hold a drink and a cigarette in one hand. But Colombo designed his Smoke Glasses to be balanced and ergonomic, transcending their original purpose and making them a pleasure for anyone to hold even today. Each article of Arnolfo di Cambio crystal is mouth blown and hand-cut by artisans in Italy. It is thus rare for any one piece to be identical to another. A small bubble, for example, is caused by the gases that are united when the raw materials are fused. A variation of thickness may occur during the glassblower's handling of the liquid crystal. These are not flaws but rather symbols of the originality of each piece and evidence that the articles have not been mechanically processed. The result is an individually crafted object d'art. Please enjoy your Arnolfo di Cambio crystal, knowing the skill and dexterity required to create your crystal, and recognize variations from one piece to another as part of the beauty of hand-made craftwork.
