Glass has an extraordinary ability to transform a space.
It reflects light, adds transparency and brings quiet elegance to everyday moments. When created by hand, however, glass becomes something even more remarkable: an object that carries movement, individuality, and craftsmanship in every piece.
At SOLOKO, our mouth-blown glassware celebrates traditional artisan techniques while embracing contemporary design, creating timeless pieces that feel equally at home on a beautifully laid dining table or displayed throughout the home.
What Makes Mouth Blown Glass So Special?
Unlike machine-made glass, mouth blown glass is shaped individually by skilled artisans.
Every curve, bubble and subtle variation reflects the making process itself, meaning no two pieces are ever completely identical. These natural characteristics are what make handmade glass so distinctive. Rather than striving for perfect uniformity, each piece celebrates individuality.
Everyday Drinking, Elevated
The simplest rituals often deserve the most thoughtful objects.
Whether enjoying water at breakfast, sharing wine with friends, or serving homemade drinks on a warm afternoon, handcrafted glassware brings a quiet sense of occasion to everyday moments.
SOLOKO’s mouth-blown drinking glasses are designed to be used and enjoyed every day. Their timeless forms make them equally suited to relaxed gatherings, elegant dinners, or simple moments at home.
For a complete table setting, the matching glass carafes create a harmonious pairing with the drinking glasses. Designed with the same handcrafted approach, they bring both practicality and beauty to the table, perfect for serving water, infused drinks, or seasonal refreshments.
Explore our range of handcrafted drinking glasses and carafes.
Beautiful Tables Begin with Thoughtful Details
Glassware plays an important role in creating a beautiful atmosphere around the table.
Combined with woven table linens and handcrafted baskets, mouth-blown glasses introduce contrast through transparency and light.
Together, these natural materials create table settings that feel layered, relaxed and welcoming.
Handcrafted Vases: Functional Objects and Works of Art
A vase can be more than a vessel for flowers, it can become a defining object within a room.
Each SOLOKO mouth-blown glass vase is a one-of-a-kind piece, shaped by the hands of skilled artisans and carrying its own unique character. Subtle variations in form, texture, and colour make every vase individual, transforming each one into a small work of art.
Beautiful when displayed alone, these sculptural pieces bring elegance and personality to shelves, side tables, and dining spaces. Filled with fresh seasonal flowers, dried stems, or branches gathered from nature, they create a connection between the indoors and the natural world.
Rather than following short-lived trends, these timeless designs are created to be enjoyed for years, evolving with your home and becoming part of its story.

The Craft Behind Every Piece
Behind every piece of SOLOKO glassware is a close collaboration with skilled artisans who bring generations of knowledge and expertise to their craft.
SOLOKO works closely with Ghanaian glass artisan Michael Tetteh, whose passion and experience in mouth-blown glass production are central to the creation of these unique designs. Through this partnership, traditional glassmaking techniques are preserved while creating contemporary pieces that fit seamlessly into modern homes.
Working with recycled glass, Michael and his team carefully transform each piece by hand, shaping, refining, and finishing every object with patience and precision. The process requires years of experience, as each movement influences the final form, texture, and character of the glass.
This close collaboration reflects SOLOKO’s wider commitment to supporting artisan communities, preserving traditional skills, and creating products with genuine provenance.
