Story
Hand-blown glass has a rich and ancient history in Palestine, dating back to the first centuries of glassmaking in the region. It is believed that the art of glassblowing in Palestine originated around the 1st century BC during the Roman period and has continued to develop throughout various historical periods, including the Byzantine, Islamic, Crusader and Ottoman periods, as well as the modern era.

Fair Trade for Peace
We entered into cooperation with BFTA at the beginning of 2023 and we wanted to offer the products to our customers by Christmas 2023. Today's conflict intervened and prevented a timely delivery. Now we are happy to finally be able to introduce these great products to give the local people an important income and some normality with employment.
