Precision drinking tools. 100% hand made rocks glasses tuned for whiskey. Feel so good in the hand & sensuous on the lips. Make every sip taste better

About Ben
Glass came into Ben Dombey’s life in 2003. It was like a release, a calling, a passion, and an addiction all rolled into one beautiful muscular fire-dance. Ben has devoted his life to this calling ever-since. Ben majored in glass blowing at Tulane University in New Orleans and received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2008. After two more years of working in the New Orleans glass world it w

as time to head to grad-school at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He received a Masters of Fine Arts in 2012. A versatile and accomplished artist, Dombey has traveled around the world to work with the best of the best. He currently lives in New Orleans and continues to make glass full time. You'll find Ben's sculptural work on bendombey.com

About the Glasses
The goal to create the perfect rocks glass began after a trip to Scotland in 2011 and, after years of experimentation, he started Glassblowerben, LLC, to produce these glasses. The original is the medium size glass, perfect for a nice whiskey on the rocks. Different sizes evolved for those who take their scotch neat or enjoy a fresh mixed margarita with just enough salt on the rim. Every single glass that we make is inflated by lung power and is 100% hand made in the United States. The glasses have a fabulous weight to them and truly feel great in your hand and sensuous on the lips. They have a unique texture on the lower half. This adds to the hand made quality, makes them very distinct, and really shows off your favorite beverage. No matter what stamp is on the underside of the glass, side by side they always look like a great set. As with anything handmade, glasses will vary slightly from one another, adding to their unique charm. Everything tastes better from artisan glass.

is an incredible guy that makes some incredible tools. I’ve asked almost every glass tool maker I’ve ever met to make me a custom pair of tweezers over the past decade. Bryan has made me many. His most recent design is amazing. The handle has a concave section and a flat section. saw this design conference in Dallas and invited to work with him in Japan! How cool is that! Bryan’s new jack design is sweet. They feel great in your hand and they float on the glass. The blades hardly build up any black residue and just keep on gliding and not scratching the glass. Check him out! Hopefully this is the first of many “collabs” between us. THANK YOU BRYAN!!

Hey boro guys, have you ever gotten borax hot? So many different ways to add heat it was hard to guess where to start. It almost floats at first, boron is very light as it’s the fifth element. I want to see pure boron, I never have before. It almost turned to glass. Follow me and we’ll keep on exploring and learning and sharing

I’ve been exploring machining glass with my CNC machine. The possibilities are great and I’m just scratching the surface. It does a perfect job every time and never comes late to work or complains about cold wet hands! I want to get an automatic tool changer so I can really step things up. Thoughts?
