Description

The HIGHTIDE Recycled Glass Paper Weight is a recycled glass paperweight, made by hand in Japan from used bottles. Its colours come only from the tones of the original bottles, such as milk bottles from local farms and drinks bottles from regional makers, with no added dyes.

The bottles are cleaned, dried and crushed before the glass is blown and shaped. The form is rounded, and the small bubbles in the glass cast shadows as light passes through. It also works as a decorative object.

Size, shape, colour and bubbles vary from piece to piece. The glass is not heat-resistant and does not withstand sudden changes in temperature.

Testimonials

  • I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

  • Araujo & Sobrinho is a historic and magical stationery shop that has inspired me since the 1970s. A landmark for artists and lovers of the best brands. A symbol of our magnificent city of Porto!

    Antero FerreiraDesigner
  • On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
