Lexy Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Is there any place Lakeside where I can buy glasses (for drinks) of the kind sold at Tonala? Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The tianguis in Ajijic on Wednesdays always has a family from Tonala with a good selection of glass. There usually is someone selling on the carretera too, close to Revolucion - they are there most days of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned small Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The correct term is mouth blown,your hand is incapable of doing so. The bi-annual Feria Maestros del Arte has such people attending with their wares. I think there is one coming in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the only glass artisans attending are Christmas ornament makers from the State of Mexico and beautiful etched glass items from CDMX. http://www.mexicoartshow.com/2016maestros.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it up. (Like I just did, to be sure I was right.) But for the sake of no argument, I think in the future I'll just go looking for blown-glass drink ware. Bournemouth--thank you for those tips on where to find blown-glass glasses. I'm on my way. Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 there is a new store in the Centro Laguna mall, I think it is called "fusion arts" or something like that. Right across from Peters Bread (and goodies) store. I didn't see glasses, but then I wasn't looking for them either. Definitely hand made glassware, vases, plaques, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsca Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Lexy I've bought some blown glass glassware at the store at the bottom of Colon - same side of the street as Opus Boutique but on the corner on the right across from Opus. Their prices are fair. But the best selection is at the tianguis in Ajijic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks, all. I made it to the tiangus, trudged up the aisle and found the blown glass booth. Very nice! What fun. And while there I bought yams (I think they are) braising in something and also some large shrimp. What excitement (yes, I know, I should get out more).
