Description
In the tiny African Kindgom of Swaziland a small group of Swazi craftsmen and women – with age old artistry – breath life into enchanting interpretations of the animals and birds of Africa, imbuing each with its own irresistible personality.
The products, which include a range of tableware, drinking glasses, vases, jugs and ornamental African animals, are all handmade from recycled glass. Most of this is from soft drink bottles, gathered from all over Swaziland .
Not only are the people of Swaziland encouraged to collect the bottles, but Ngwenya Glass works with the local schools to instil in the children a sense of environmental awareness. In exchange for building materials and the sponsorship of the soccer team, the students participate in roadside clean-up campaigns.

Amazing glasses, so beautiful to hold. Can’t wait to get more of the zebra striped ones too.

The most exciting wine glasses we’ve ever seen.
They were our glassware when we were at Richard Branson’s safari lodge in Sabi Sands, the Greater Kruger, South Africa.
Two weeks later, we’re using them at home in Sydney in time for my wife’s birthday.
Great service Pru, thank you so much.

Thanks Paul, I’m glad you can have a special piece of Africa in your home.
