per 

A one-of-a-kind cup blown in Afghanistan by master craftsmen. Also known as Herat glass, these cups are made following the same methods first developed in Mesopotamia and documented on cuneiform tablets from the 7th century BCE. An art form that is slowly dwindling these pieces are infused with a level of cultural preservation that spans time. Each piece has been dug from the earth and very carefully repaired by hand.

 

This strikingly vibrant vessel is adorned with the inspiring symbol of the Pegasus and colored a deep cobalt blue. Patterned intricately—and lovingly—this piece is meant to be treasured forever.
