The bonbonniere has a history as rich as its contents, originating among the French aristocracy who presented crystal trinket boxes filled with confections to their guests at a time when sugar was a rare luxury reserved for the privileged few. Akua Objects takes that centuries-old tradition and runs it through their own lens, arriving at a mouth-blown Bohemian glass bonbonniere with a circus tent-inspired dot on top that is as much sculptural object as it is vessel for treats. Fill it, display it, or simply let it hold its own on a shelf, because it is more than capable of doing exactly that.
A design from Akua Objects.

Features

• A piece rooted in genuine history, the bonbonniere tradition traces back to French aristocracy who gifted crystal boxes filled with confections as symbols of affluence and celebration
• The circus tent-inspired dot on top brings a note of playful contrast that makes each piece an immediate and effortless conversation starter on any table or shelf
• Equally at home filled with treats for a festive occasion as it is displayed empty as a sculptural accent, making it one of the most versatile pieces in the entire collection
• Meticulously mouth-blown and handcrafted in Bohemia by the same skilled artisans responsible for the Alban collection, with all the natural variation that level of craft produces
• Part of the Noam collection, which emerged serendipitously alongside the Alban collection and has since proven itself as a fully realized and deeply considered body of work in its own right

Care Instructions

• We recommend, 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.
