This is a set of 2 Maison & Tyvola glasses, from the “Iris Margarita” collection. These hand-blown, sage green glass colored bubble glasses hold 8 oz. For best results, apply salt to rim and garnish with a lime.
Hand-wash only. Glass is lead-free.

My favorite word in the world is “tchotchke.”
Show & Tell Atelier is my love letter to the stories and treasures handed down in life, and to the artists and designers whose hands brought forth such beautiful things. This little shop is a passion project also devoted to the collectors and archivists who help preserve art and culture otherwise lost to time.
Show & Tell Atelier is my middle finger to mass overconsumption of industrialized goods and contemporary junk filling landfills and polluting our natural resources.
I grew up going to thrift stores and antique shops often with my family, especially with my mother and grandmother. Many a party dress and trinket alike came home with me. More importantly, I took home the value of joy that our belongings should carry. We can’t take them with us forever. Buy the good shit that makes you smile when you see it, and let your joy be an investment rather than a commodity.
Support the artists and craftspeople that help make life beautiful. Love to the makers, who wake up every day compelled to create with their own two hands. And many thanks to you, dear reader, for your patronage and consideration.
Sincerely,
Katie Backus
Show & Tell Atelier owner and curator
Artist, collector, hobbyist, vintage lover, and magpie for treasure
