The History of Tonalá, Mexico Glassware

Mexican Blown Glass from Tonalá Introduction Tonalá, located just outside Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, is a vibrant artisan town deeply connected to its artistic roots.

Over time, Mexican craftsmen localized the craft, giving it vibrant, rustic qualities.
