Mezza Forma is shaped in hammered steel moulds, where the final form emerges through direct contact with metal rather than predetermined symmetry. Each piece begins with a loose outline; as the steel is worked, the mould pushes and pulls against the molten glass, allowing the material to find its own resolution. Rapid chilling against the steel leaves a mottled, ice-like surface, capturing the moment of contact. A wavering, uneven lip remains as a quiet record of the process, softening the form and giving each vessel its distinct character. No two pieces are the same—each is a singular outcome of heat, pressure, and hand.

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.
