Recycled Glass Soap Dispenser

by BreadandBadger

“Sleek with a touch of chic” is how I would describe the recycled glass soap dispenser made by the incredibly talented husband and wife duo Amanda and Sean Siska. The original artwork is created with a handmade stencil and carefully sandblasted in order to ensure that the design will endure the test of time. Capable of holding 8.5 oz, this sturdy bottle stands 6.5″ tall and measures 3″ across at its widest point and 1.5″ wide at its base. Get yours now for $25 (plus s+h).

One of our favorite new shops in Portland is Bikeasaurus, a resource for all things bicycle or dinosaur related. We think this combination is fabulous! I recently sat down with owner, Becky, to answer a few questions about our business and inspiration.

Each month, BIKEASAURUS highlights the talents and personality of one local crafter. For February, we were excited to find out more about Amanda Siska of Bread and Badger. Amanda and her husband Sean etch subtle and fun images onto glassware, calling them

Bread and Badger pint glasses, $15 each, etched with zombies, robot dinosaurs and other whimsical designs by Portlander Amanda Siska.

I completely forgot to share this when it happened! We were featured in Portland’s own Willamette Week gift guide for last-minute shoppers on Dec. 15th. Unfortunately, the article didn’t get published until after our holiday shipping deadline, so we had to direct shoppers to the variety of local shops that carry our glassware.

The glass pictured on the left is our Zombie Apocalypse pint glass, and the one of the right is actually our Robo-Dino pint glass collaboration with Mary Kelly of Lollytots, except that it’s facing backwards to you can’t see the design. :(

This is one of the most exciting press features we’ve had so far, and I still haven’t seen the tv spot! The lovely HGTV folks are supposed to be sending me a dvd of the episode, but I don’t know if it’ll ever get to me.

The HGTV cable channel ran a special holiday episode featuring handmade gift ideas from Etsy.com. Our mustache rocks glasses were lucky enough to appear on the show, which aired throughout Nov. and Dec., and in the HGTV shop. As soon as I can find some footage from the show, I’ll post it here!

Before Christmas, our mustache pint glasses appeared in Alaska Airlines Magazine, as part of their holiday gift guide. The photo may have been small, but this big feature introduced us to a lot of holiday travelers.

Glassware with a flair is a sure way to make someone smile. [...] Bread and Badger’s playful Mustache Pint Glasses have designs that give the user the appearance of a handlebar mustache while drinking ($15 each, www.breadandbadger.com).

Wow. I just watched this video by the Thrillist guys for NBC New York, where they review our Jolly Roger lowball glasses. I’m speechless.

What’s more Rock & Roll than your kitchen? Nothing. But the dudes from Thrillist have found a few accessories that can help upgrade your kitchen to be even more hardcore.

I finally caught a glimpse of our famous Mustache Pint Glass in the Real Simple Holiday Gift Guide 2010 on their website! I knew it was out in the magazine, but I haven’t been able to get my hands on a copy yet. I don’t think it’s reached newsstands on the west coast. They even did a nice job photographing it!

Mustache Glass

Tip it to take a sip, and voila! it looks as if you’re sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for anyone with a sense of humor or a lack of facial hair.

To buy: Mustache pint glass, $15, breadandbadger.com.
