“Happiness is having a rare steak, rare whiskey glasses, a rare whisky, and a rare dog to eat the rare steak.” You might think that these glasses are made with the help of machines.
And I love to break your bubble... but you're absolutely wrong here because these glasses are crafted by our craftsmen.

Let’s check out the process of making these peculiar Stone Glasses

Step 1

Rock Breaking
The process of making stone glass starts with cutting down the big soft metamorphic rock (soapstone) into small pieces as per the sizes needed.

Step 2

Carving
The next step is carving (giving shape) the rock into a glass from the outside. And later on, the inside part is emptied.

Step 3

Rough Polishing
In the next step, these carved glasses are polished with the help of water and sandpaper.

Step 4

Soaked
Then these glasses are immersed in water for a week and after taking it out, it’s washed with soap and water to remove the odour.

Step 5

Final Polishing
In the end, polishing is done to give the glass a glossy outlook.

Phew!

The process of making ends and here we get our final product - these amazing and elegant stone glasses.

PS- please don’t expect all the handcrafted glasses to be symmetrical. As we are aware, these glasses are handmade by artisans with great effort and hard work, and not a single piece is machine-made. So each glass is different and unique in its own ways.</br
