The Augusta collection was born on the island of Murano, on a trip that brought along Josefine's youngest daughter Augusta, then just six months old, and led to an encounter with master glassblower Alberto whose work would define the entire collection. Inspired by the fantastical world of the circus, its color palette draws on the drama, surrealism, and vivid spectacle of 18th century striped tents, carousels, and vibrant promotional posters. The result is glassware that brings a genuine burst of color and excitement to any table fortunate enough to have it.
A design from Akua Objects.

• The amethyst brings one of the collection's most striking and jewel-like tones to the table, working beautifully for water, wine, or lemonade with equal and effortless style
• Named after Josefine's youngest daughter, who accompanied the duo on their very first visit to Murano at just six months old, giving the collection a personal origin as vivid as its palette
• Mouth-blown and handmade in Murano, each glass carries the natural variation and material character that only this level of craft and this specific place in the world can produce

Care Instructions

• The Augusta collection is dishwasher safe. We recommend dishwasher programs up to max 45°C, the glasses are not suitable for hot beverages.
• Given that each Akua piece is handcrafted, delicate handling is essential for their preservation. To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Akua glassware, please adhere to the following care instructions.
(1) Hand-wash each piece of glassware individually with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Use a soft sponge and gentle cleanser to avoid scratches. To avoid detergent residues, rinse the glasses thoroughly with clear water.
(2) Dry glassware promptly after washing to prevent calcium deposits. Gently use large microfiber cloths to dry the glass, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent breakage. Use the cloth to gently clean fingerprints from the outside of the glass.
(3) Use soft and dry microfiber cloths to polish the glass. Avoid applying excessive pressure or twisting parts si-multaneously, as this may cause the stem to break. Gently run the cloth along the outside to remove fingerprints.
