The hand blown Stratton Menorah features intricate "air twists" captured within the glass. This very old technique involves taking a gather of molten glass from the furnace, rolling it and then pinching it with a special tool-specifically created by our master glassblowers-to create grooves. Additional glass is then gathered over these grooves, actually trapping air inside. The glass is then shaped and twisted, turning each of the air pockets into spirals. The resulting air twist reflects the surrounding light and sometimes appears to be made of silver or mercury. Only our most experienced glassblowers have mastered the techniques required for our Stratton designs.
