This stamp highlights the craftsmanship of mouth-blown glass, a centuries-old tradition in Tunisia. The image shows a slender transparent glass bottle, topped with a finely crafted cap. This series pays homage to the master glassmakers who perpetuate manufacturing techniques inherited from the Phoenician and Roman times. The fineness of the glass illustrated here symbolizes the fragility and preciousness of the intangible cultural heritage that Tunisia strives to preserve in the face of industrialization.
