Vintage Blown Glass Encased Metal Globets Mexico Collection Medieval Decoration

Description: Odilon valos Razo was the son of Camilo (same last names), who owned a blown glass factory called "Carretones" in Mexico City, that produced bottles for tequila and other utilitarian glass pieces. Odiln (1881-1957) moved to Tlaquepaque, in the vicinity of Guadalajara and developed this very creative technique for "imprisoning" glass in a previously manufactured metal encasing, the pieces that came out of his workshop were mainly lampe shades, glasses and cups. The goblet is two pieced (screwed together). In 1834, the Quinard family, of French origin, became the only manufacturer that existed in Puebla, which gave the opportunity to teach the youth interested in this craft. It was at that time and place that the first Mexican glassmaker was born: Camilo valos Razo is considered the pioneer of the art of glass blowing in Mexico. Don Camilo had three sons who inherited the trade. Odilon valos skill was the oldest, and taught his brotheres Francisco and Camilo. They created the most important dynasty of glass artisans in the country and we owe to them the growth of glass blowing and the installation of other workshops in Puebla, Apizaco Texcoco, Toluca and Guadalajara.
