The first mexican glassware was made in Puebla between 1535 to 1542 and variety of pieces were produced such as  wine glasses, ice tea glasses, umbler glasses,high ball glasses, and round Bola pitchers as examples. Glasses and pitchers can be clear or with colored rims and bases in blue (Cobalt), amber (brown), turquoise (teal), green and red.
