When browsing the local shops on your vacation<\/b> for souvenirs this year, put down the magnets, set aside the ceramics, and make some room for glass. There are so many different glass traditions that are iconic because of where they\u2019re from that it\u2019s hard to pick which ones to highlight, but we chose four from around the world that have influenced design far outside their origins. From the teahouses of Morocco to the bustling markets of China, there\u2019s glassware for every trip. And if the only travel you\u2019re doing this summer is from the comfort of your backyard, we found some contemporary interpretations of each tradition.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Moroccan Beldi Glass<\/h4>\n

In Morocco, tea is more than just a drink\u2014it\u2019s a physical representation of hospitality. And often, the refreshing mint tea comes in small cups made of imperfect recycled material known as beldi glass. Traditionally made from things like beer or wine bottles<\/a> in a process that has been more or less the same since the 1940s<\/a>, beldi glasses are characterized by their small size and conical shape, as well as color. Although there are many examples of gilded beldi glasses and carafes out there, the traditional grass-green hue is instantly recognizable.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

If Marrakech isn\u2019t on your list this year, don\u2019t fret\u2014there are plenty of contemporary interpretations that we think evoke the tradition and won\u2019t require a passport. Kickie Chudikova\u2019s Danube Carafe<\/a> comes with a matching cup that echoes the shape of traditional beldi glass and would work beautifully on a bedside table. And if you truly want the real deal, Verve Culture\u2019s set<\/a>, in the fetching green derived from recycled Heineken bottles, is just the ticket.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
