The Mezza Forma series emerges from a shift away from the immediacy of the hot shop and into the slower, more reflective process of shaping steel. Each mould is hand-hammered from sheet metal—formed not through precision, but through an intuitive push and pull. As one area is worked, another distorts; the form is never fixed, but constantly responding. This tension is carried directly into the glass.

The resulting vessels hold the memory of that process. Their surfaces are softly dappled—almost ice-like—while their lip lines waver and drift, resisting the clean symmetry of traditional blown forms. What appears delicate is in fact the trace of force: the translation of hammered steel into molten glass.

Mezza Forma sits between control and surrender. It reflects a deliberate step outside the conventions of glassblowing, using the language of another material to disrupt and reshape it. Each piece is both a functional object and a record of its own making—an outline drawn not by design, but by pressure, movement, and response.

To keep your glassware pristine for generations, follow these simple steps:

• Cleaning Solution: Use a mixture of equal parts distilled water, white vinegar, and isopropyl alcohol. Apply with a lint-free cloth for a natural, streak-free shine.
• Avoid Scratches: Limit contact between glasses to prevent scratches and chipping. This applies to both hand washing and dishwasher use. Ensure glasses have ample space in the dishwasher and use tines to secure them to avoid rattling.
• Dishwasher Tips: Be mindful of the dishwasher's design and avoid pre-washing glasses, as it can cause cloudiness. Refer to expert advice on maintaining shine and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent stress and breakage.
