Why Choose JU’s Handblown Glass for Your Next Centrepiece

In a world of mass production, handcrafted objects possess a unique power. They fill spaces with stories and infuse them with a warm personality. Among the finest examples of such craftsmanship is the exquisite handblown glassware from JU, a designer brand dedicated to carrying forward timeless European artistry. Their pieces are as much works of art as they are functional decor.

Now available at Banaras Bhang, JU’s collection of elegant home decor glass items showcases the perfect fusion of style and sustainability. Join us as we dive into how their exceptional craftsmanship and vibrant creations redefine modern décor, offering the one piece you’ve been missing to complete your perfect home.

From Molten Glass to Masterpiece: The JU Story

JU’s story is one of heritage and passion. Born from a Belgian family with a deep love for glassware and design, they beautifully marry European design sensibilities with the time-honoured traditions of Eastern European glassblowing. Imagine skilled artisans, generations of knowledge passed down through their hands, skillfully manipulating molten glass that glows like liquid fire and sculpting it into art. This meticulous mouth-blowing process requires precise control and years of practice.

Each breath shapes the glass and imbues it with a unique character. Because they are handmade, no two creations are alike. The variations that naturally occur are not flaws but marks of authenticity. The way the subtle imperfections catch and reflect light speaks to their handcrafted nature. This dedication to craft makes each JU piece, from minimal candle holders to striking vases, genuinely one of a kind.

The brand also champions eco-consciousness. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their use of recycled glass where possible. They create home decor glass items that are both captivating and environmentally friendly, with every product carrying a story of artistry and care.

Infuse Charm into Your Home with JU’s Exquisite Glassware

Even a single, beautifully crafted object can affect the ambience of an entire room. JU’s exquisite glassware does just that. Their designs are conversation starters – contemporary, stylish, and undeniably eye-catching. These home decor glass items complement any interior.

Take the Celia T Light candle holder, for instance. Available in a range of striking colours (Amber, Aqua, Bronze, Dark Green, Rose, Purple, and more), these handcrafted accents serve as perfect centrepieces gracing your bedside table, mantlepiece, or dining table. The warm, flickering light of a fragrant candle dancing within JU’s candle holders will instantly draw attention.

FAQ

1. Are JU’s handblown glass pieces suitable to place outdoors?

To preserve the vibrant colours and integrity of your JU glassware, we recommend displaying them indoors. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the glass to fade over time. UV radiation can break down the chemical bonds in the glass, affecting its colour and clarity.

2. Are the colours of the JU glass consistent across different pieces?

Due to the handblown nature of JU glass, slight variations in colour and form can occur. It adds to the uniqueness of each piece and is not considered a defect.

3. What makes JU’s glassware different from others?

Their premium glass home decor accessories are mouth-blown by skilled artisans with utmost precision, giving each piece distinct characteristics. Mass-produced glass is machine-made and lacks the same artistry and individuality.

4. Can I use regular candles in a T-light candle holder?

The Celia T Light holder is designed to hold standard-sized tealight candles. Using appropriately sized candles ensures safe burning and saves you from the hassle of cleaning the excessive wax buildup.

5. What other types of products does Banaras Bhang offer besides JU?

Banaras Bhang curates a selection of authentic, collectible-grade items from various renowned luxury brands worldwide, as well as our own exclusive line of exceptional creations. This includes diverse decorative objects, wall art, dinnerware, cutlery, and jewellery, just to name a few!
