Heritage Craft
Our Gold and Silver Egyptian Votive Holder carries a legacy dating back to ancient Egypt, where artisans were the first to pioneer glasswork. Today, this heritage is preserved in the bustling, Fair Trade Certified workshop in Old Cairo where each votive is carefully mouth-blown and hand-painted.
Not only does this preserve a cherished artisan tradition, but it also ensures fair and sustainable employment opportunities for Egypt's glassblowing community, nurturing both history and livelihoods.

old CAIRO, EGYPT
The art of Egyptian glassmaking dates back to 1500 BC, a tradition still carried in by the craftsman of Old Cairo.
Founded by two sisters raised with a love of Egyptian art, this Fair Trade Certified workshop provides local artisans with meaningful work while preserving generations of knowledge.
Each ornament is carefully mouth-blown, before being hand painted with silver or gold. Beautiful pieces to bring out each Christmas, and to pass along for generations to come.
