The Story Behind Our Hummingbird Stemless Wine Glasses

At Expressive DeZien, we believe that every piece of art should tell a story. Our most cherished creation, the Hummingbird Stemless Wine Glass, carries a deep personal meaning, one that resonates with our customers and us alike. The story behind it goes beyond a simple design — it’s a tribute to love, memory, and the beauty of life’s fleeting moments.

Inspiration Behind the Design
The inspiration for our hummingbird design comes from Jenise’s sister, Sharon, whose love for these vibrant creatures was unmatched. Sadly, Sharon passed away after a battle with colon cancer, leaving a lasting impact on Jenise’s heart. The hummingbird became a way for Jenise to stay connected to her sister’s spirit, and it’s through these designs that she finds solace and keeps Sharon’s memory alive.

What started as a small, heartfelt etching on Sharon’s kitchen cabinets grew into a line of products that now symbolizes joy, love, and remembrance. The hummingbird, with its delicate wings and vibrant energy, represents hope and the celebration of life. This design is more than just an image — it’s a connection to something much deeper, and it’s a message we’re proud to share with the world.

Crafting Our Hummingbird Glassware
Each hummingbird design is created using a technique called sandblasting, which involves delicately etching the design onto the surface of glassware. The process is an art form in itself — we start by creating a stencil of the design and then use fine, abrasive elements to etch the image onto the glass. This technique gives each piece a unique, handmade quality that can never be replicated.

When you purchase one of our hummingbird glasses, you’re not just buying glassware — you’re acquiring a piece of art that’s been carefully crafted with love and care. Every glass is a tribute to the beauty of life and the memory of loved ones, making each sip a reminder of the special moments we cherish.

Customer Stories and Connections
The connection with our customers is what makes this journey so fulfilling. Our customers often share their personal stories about the meaning behind their purchase. One customer shared how a hummingbird glass helped her sister cope with the loss of her boyfriend, saying, “This gift was a symbol of hope and healing.” It’s these stories that fuel our passion for creating these meaningful designs.

Whether our glasses are used to mark a special occasion, celebrate life, or honor a loved one’s memory, we know that each piece is doing more than just holding liquid — it’s holding a memory, a moment, and a part of someone’s story.

What’s Next for Expressive DeZien?
We are constantly growing and evolving, and while we began with our beloved stemless wine glasses, we are excited to expand our collection. From champagne flutes to whiskey tumblers and even custom glassware, our designs are spreading to new forms. We are even exploring new ways to incorporate our signature designs into bakeware and glass canisters.

Our journey is just beginning, and we’re so grateful to have our customers alongside us as we continue to create unique, heartfelt products that tell a story.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of the hummingbird — a symbol of hope, love, and joy. Each glass is crafted to be not only a functional piece but also a treasured memory for you or your loved ones.
