Specialty Glassblowing Demonstration

A rare, once‑a‑month creation event

Experience an exclusive behind‑the‑scenes demonstration as TMA glassmakers craft a contemporary "Echoes of Antiquity, Filigrana Tazza" Glass Footed Cup in real time. Each month, only one of these limited-edition vessels is created in the Hot Shop, making this a truly rare opportunity to witness the process and purchase the singular piece made that day.

Inspired by a 16th‑century Vetro a Reticello footed cup in TMA’s collection, this modern reinterpretation blends Renaissance elegance with today’s studio‑glass innovation. The rich red, softly fading surface creates warmth and depth, celebrating TMA’s 125‑year history of glassmaking excellence.
