Beautiful glass sardine entirely handmade by a Master Glassmaker from Marinha Grande, the cradle of glass craftsmanship in Portugal. A decorative object evoking Portugal, this glass sardine can be used as a paperweight.

The 19 cm version can be affixed to a wall or hung thanks to the 2 small hooks incorporated during its firing. The 12 cm version has 2 magnets.

Make no mistake, this sardine is an object of remarkable artisanal quality made entirely manually by Francisco & Luisa Santos.
Francisco is a renowned master glassmaker who usually designs and creates extraordinary stained glass windows and produces very small series of glass sardines. He uses both traditional Marinha Grande glass (a translucent glass) and more opaque Murano glass.
His creations are present throughout Portugal in churches, public buildings, or sumptuous houses and are also the subject of numerous exhibitions in Portugal as well as in Brazil and various European countries.
