Our Story
A hobby, a friendship: the most exclusive tables in the world.
Los Vasos de Agua Clara was born in Barcelona in 2018 from the friendship and creative sensibility of Clara Riera and Maite López-Fonta, two childhood friends united by a passion for craftsmanship, color, and the beauty of small daily rituals.
What began as a spontaneous way to transform glassware by hand gradually became a brand specializing in hand-painted glassware designed to create emotional, elegant, and deeply personal tablescapes.

The Art of Entertaining
Inspired by the Mediterranean, travel, nature, and the art of entertaining, Clara and Maite view the table as much more than a functional space: a place for gathering, connection, and shared beauty. Each collection is born from artistic experimentation in the studio, playing with pigments, brushstrokes, and the infinite possibilities of colour to create unique pieces full of aesthetic sensibility.
No part can be accelerated.
Each piece is hand-painted in Spain through a slow and careful process that transforms each collection into a unique expression of color, sensibility, and manual artistry.
Every bespoke commission begins with a conversation. We listen, ask questions and look closely because we want to understand your table, your story and the moment you are creating. Each piece should tell something about the person who will live with it, not simply about us.
Our palette of 40 colours is born in our Barcelona workshop, the result of years of study, failed mixtures, and Mediterranean sensibility. Each shade is unique in the world and defines the chromatic identity of Los Vasos de Agua Clara.
Stroke by stroke, each glass and goblet takes between 20 and 40 minutes to paint by hand, depending on the design. No two pieces are alike, and that is not a flaw; it is the signature of slow craftsmanship and quiet luxury.
The pieces are oven-fired to set the colours, hand-washed, and individually inspected before packaging. Only handcrafted glassware that makes us proud reaches your table, ready to turn an everyday moment into a memory.
Where It Began
From a home workshop to the most exclusive tables in the world.
Lovers of slow-made and artisanal processes in their purest form, Clara and Maite meticulously handcraft each glass and goblet, respecting the uniqueness of each gesture and celebrating the small imperfections that make each piece unrepeatable.
Today, Los Vasos de Agua Clara reaches London, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. Our glassware graces some of the most exclusive tables in the world and some of the most renowned European fashion houses, although discretion prevents us from naming them.
All of this, without ceasing to do it by hand.
Piece by piece. Just like the first day.

It all starts with listening.
EVERY PIECE BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION
We listen to your story, understand how you imagine your table and create hand-painted glassware that reflects your way of living. Because a bespoke commission should tell your story, not ours.
— 02 —
Colour, made your own.
EVERY COLOUR BEGINS WITH A MIX
We mix pigments by hand in our Barcelona workshop until we find the right shade. Nuances, intensities and combinations are developed one by one, allowing us to create a palette with a character of its own for each collection.

Hand-painted, piece by piece.
EACH PIECE IS HAND-PAINTED
We work with precision, patience, and the care of someone who understands craftsmanship as a form of expression. No two are alike. This uniqueness is what makes every glass, goblet, or pitcher a truly unrepeatable piece.
Our way of creating
At Los Vasos de Agua Clara, we create contemporary hand-painted glassware for those who enjoy the art of entertaining and find pleasure in setting tables full of personality, warmth, and relaxed sophistication. Inspired by quiet luxury and everyday beauty, our pieces are designed to transform simple moments into memorable experiences around the table.
More than decorative objects, our collections aim to evoke emotion, accompany intimate celebrations, and become part of shared stories that last over time. Because for Los Vasos de Agua Clara, true luxury lies in craftsmanship, authenticity, and the beauty of sharing.
