Making the Dombey Glass: the Perfect Glass
The goal to create the perfect rocks glass began after a trip to Scotland in 2011. After years of experimentation, Ben Dombey started Glassblowerben, LLC, in 2014 to produce these glasses. Our first glass was The Dombey Glass, our 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. As with anything handmade, glasses will vary slightly from one another, adding to their unique charm.

The Dombey Glass
As our most popular handmade whiskey glass, the Dombey glass is the perfect fit any time you want a drink. This glass holds a decent portion of whiskey (or any other liquor you enjoy) with plenty of room for an ice cube or two. Grab a glass and your favorite bourbon whiskey after a stressful day at the office and watch as your stress disappears. Our custom whiskey glasses are all made using handblown glassblowing techniques that take years to master. Even when you’re not savoring a drink from this glass, its unique look elevates your home bar.

Glass Size: Medium
Approximately 2.75" in diameter and 3.75" tall.

Every Dombey glass is hand made in New Orleans and a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Whether you know me or not, I want to make those little special moments in your life even more magical. If it's a drink after a long workday, a cheers and eye contact with a loved one, or group of people gathering around a table for dinner, celebrating a wedding or virtually having a family hello, my glasses will enhance the moment. My passion for glass is just as strong as my passion to get an extra head to turn and appreciate my work. I've devoted almost 20 years of my life to studying glass; it has taken me across the world and introduced me to some of my closest friends. In 2014 I started a company trying to produce eye catching, hand made, customizable glassware.
Cheers, enjoy the moment, and know your glass was made with love.
