Some names are part of Argentine culture, synonymous with an era of glory and unforgettable stories. Guillermo Coppola is one of them. Known as the legendary manager and friend of Diego Armando Maradona, he is an icon who has lived a thousand lives. The question is inevitable: what do you give a man who has seen it all? The answer is not an object; it is a story engraved in glass.
The Mission: A Gift Worthy of the Story
At Green Glass, we don’t just create objects; we forge legends. Our mission was to design a personalized gift worthy of the man. A luxury product was not enough: we needed a piece with soul, one that told a story of character and celebration.
The Chosen Piece: Johnnie Walker Gold Label
The choice was immediate: a glass born from a Johnnie Walker Gold Label bottle. This whisky, known as the “Celebration Blend”, stands for toasts, celebration and golden moments. It was the perfect canvas to honor a career like that of “Guillote”. Each glass, created by the artist Lanchi, captures the essence of the original bottle and turns it into a unique design piece. See the Johnnie Walker Gold Label whisky glass in our shop.
The Artist’s Signature: Eli Moreno’s Hand Engraving
This is where the piece becomes a legend. Artist Eli Moreno took the glass and, with a mastery only her hands have, carved the name “Guillermo Coppola” into it freehand. It is not machine engraving; it is artistic calligraphy on glass, a signature that makes it unrepeatable. Discover more about hand engraving on glass.
A Toast on Television: The Gift on “Con Amigos Así”
The circle closed in an unforgettable moment. I, Lanchi, had the honor of personally handing this glass to Guillermo during the TV show “Con Amigos Así”. Seeing his reaction as he received a piece that holds so many stories was the ultimate validation of our art.
A Glass That Joins a Collection of Icons
Guillermo Coppola’s glass is now part of an exclusive collection created for personalities who value art and authenticity, a saga that includes legends such as Gibson’s former CEO, César Gueikian, and Miguel Reigosa, founder of the Whisky Museum, whose stories are also immortalized in our glass.
A Green Glass is more than a glass. It is a conversation piece, a piece of history and the perfect gift for that person who, like Guillermo, seems to have it all. Discover our whiskey glasses in our online shop.
