The Mezza Forma series emerges from a shift away from theimmediacy of the hot shop and into the slower, more reflective process ofshaping steel. Each mould is hand-hammered from sheet metal—formed not throughprecision, but through an intuitive push and pull. As one area is worked,another distorts; the form is never fixed, but constantly responding. Thistension is carried directly into the glass.

The resulting vessels hold the memory of that process. Theirsurfaces are softly dappled—almost ice-like—while their lip lines waver anddrift, resisting the clean symmetry of traditional blown forms. What appearsdelicate is in fact the trace of force: the translation of hammered steel intomolten glass.

Mezza Forma sits between control and surrender. It reflectsa deliberate step outside the conventions of glassblowing, using the languageof another material to disrupt and reshape it. Each piece is both a functionalobject and a record of its own making—an outline drawn not by design, but bypressure, movement, and response.

To keep your glassware pristine for generations, follow these simple steps:

• Cleaning Solution: Use a mixture of equal parts distilled water, white vinegar, and isopropyl alcohol. Apply with a lint-free cloth for a natural, streak-free shine.
• Avoid Scratches: Limit contact between glasses to prevent scratches and chipping. This applies to both hand washing and dishwasher use. Ensure glasses have ample space in the dishwasher and use tines to secure them to avoid rattling.
• Dishwasher Tips: Be mindful of the dishwasher's design and avoid pre-washing glasses, as it can cause cloudiness. Refer to expert advice on maintaining shine and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent stress and breakage.
