The traditional Moroccan tea glass (often part of a tea set with a pot) is typically made from hand-blown glass and features intricate designs, often colored or patterned. Here's how these glasses (and sometimes the matching teapots) are made:
Usually soda-lime glass (affordable and easy to work with).
May include cobalt oxide (for blue glass) or other metal oxides for color.
Some higher-end versions use hand-painted enamel decorations.
Raw materials (silica sand, soda ash, limestone) are melted in a furnace (~1500°C).
For colored glass, metal oxides (e.g., cobalt for blue) are added.
Gathering - A glassblower dips a blowpipe into molten glass to gather a "gob."
Shaping - The artisan rolls and blows air into the glass, shaping it into a cup or glass form.
Mold Use (Optional) - Some glasses are blown into molds for uniformity.
Separating - The glass is cut from the blowpipe and the rim is smoothed.
Enamel Painting: Hand-painted designs (floral, geometric) using colored glass pastes, then fired for permanence.
Etching: Acid or sand etching for textured patterns.
Gilding: Gold or silver leaf accents (for luxury pieces).
The glass is slowly cooled in an annealing oven to prevent stress cracks.
Each piece is inspected for defects.
Some glasses are paired with a Moroccan teapot (usually metal, like stainless steel or silver).
