The Story
Inspired by Italian techniques and topographic maps, these rocks glasses take tradition into the modern realm. Handcrafted to be a little thicker in the body so they'll feel hearty in your hand and be built to last. Topo cups are handmade, each will have slight variances in size and color. Each piece is one of a kind and made by hand with love by Katie Plunkard in Austin, TX.
Approx. 3.25" h x 3.5" w
Each topo rocks glass is sold individually. Multiples are pictured to show slight differences in each glass.
Hand wash, avoid dishwasher, microwave, and hot liquids.
Katie has been blowing glass since 2006 but she became fascinated with glass much earlier when she saw glass artisans working on the island of Malta at the age of 11. After finding a public glassmaking studio years later in her home town of Chicago, she tried her hand at making a cup and was instantly hooked. With a background in both sculptural work and functional tableware, Katie enjoys blurring the lines between decorative art and functional craft while also trying to imitate patterns found in textile work wherever possible. Katie Plunkard is the owner of Ghost Pepper Glass in Austin, TX.
