Beldi Tea Glasses — Handblown Recycled Glass, Set of 6

The Glass That Defines Moroccan Hospitality

Beldi tea glasses are the everyday drinking vessel of Moroccan tea culture — simple, tapered, and unmistakable. Each glass in this set of 6 is mouth-blown by artisan Younes at his Ourika Road furnace in Marrakech using 100% recycled glass cullet, producing the iconic aqua tint, trapped air bubbles, and central grip ridge that have served Moroccan households for generations. No moulds, no machines: every piece carries the fingerprint of a single glassblower’s breath. Learn more about how Moroccan tea glasses are made and meet Younes, the master glassblower behind each piece.

Three Sizes, Four Colours

Choose from three sizes to match your tea service: Medium (9 cm H, 5 cm D, 3 oz), Large (10.5 cm H, 6 cm D, 5 oz), and Extra Large (12 cm H, 6.5 cm D, 6.8 oz). Each set of 6 is available in four colours — classic Transparent aqua, deep Green, cobalt Blue, and warm Brown — each carrying the natural recycled-glass tint that distinguishes handblown Beldi glassware from factory-made alternatives.

The Signature Grip Ridge

The central grip ridge is the defining feature of Beldi tea glasses. Formed during the blowing process, it insulates fingers from hot tea and provides a secure, comfortable hold — a functional design detail refined through generations of Marrakech glassblowing tradition.

Mouth-Blown in Marrakech

Younes gathers reclaimed glass from across Marrakech, melts it in his Ourika Road furnace, and shapes each glass using only the force of his breath and a few hand tools. The recycled cullet gives every piece its subtle aqua cast and occasional trapped bubbles — characteristics that mass-produced glass cannot replicate. In Moroccan glassmaking, the fact that a single artisan controls every step — from gathering the molten glass to finishing the rim — is the mark of a genuine small-batch workshop, not a factory line.

Care and Styling

Hand-wash your Beldi glasses in warm water and dry gently; avoid abrasive scrubbing and prolonged soaking. Though microwave safe, hand-washing preserves the surface character of recycled glass over time. For detailed guidance, see our guide to caring for Moroccan teaware. The tapered shape and jewel-tone colours also make these glasses natural candle holders when not in service — a warm addition to a dinner table or outdoor terrace. Pair them with Moroccan teapots and explore the traditional Moroccan tea ceremony to bring the full Moroccan tea experience home, or browse our full tea glass collection for more colours and styles.

A Gift That Speaks of Hospitality

A set of six Beldi tea glasses makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for a tea lover or a new home — practical, beautiful, and rooted in a living craft tradition. For those who entertain regularly, having a dedicated set on hand turns even a casual afternoon tea into something a little more intentional.

Product Questions

Are these Beldi glasses handblown or factory made?

These Beldi glasses are mouth-blown from recycled glass by Younes in Marrakech. Tiny bubbles, slight rim variation, and small differences in wall thickness are expected signs of hand-shaped recycled glass, not defects.

Can I use them for hot mint tea?

Yes. Beldi tea glasses are made for Moroccan mint tea and everyday drinks, but handmade glass should be protected from sudden temperature shock. Warm the glass gradually, avoid moving it from cold storage straight to boiling liquid, and hand wash after use.
