O Gravador de Nomes em Vidro - uma tradição que vive

Vitor Domingues, há 46 anos que vem da Marinha Grande à cidade do Porto, por alturas do S. João, para fazer o que sabe melhor: 

Gravar Nomes em Vidro

Gravação de Nomes em Vidro

Quem não se lembra da pequena recordação do copo de vidro com o nome e data gravada?

Provavelmente esses nomes foram gravados ao longo dos últimos 46 anos na zona das Fontaínhas no Porto por alturas das festas do S. João.

Este ano assentou a sua loja em plena Rotunda da Boavista, frente à Casa da Música e próximo da Roda Gigante.

Gravação de Nomes em Vidro

Diz Vítor "estou fora do meu habitat", pois esteve sempre localizado na zona das Fontaínhas.

O Gravador de Nomes em Vidro, grava também dedicatórias em vidro "aquilo que o povo gosta", diz.

O Gravador de Nomes em Vidro

É um trabalho que fica para sempre, pois é gravado em vidro.

O pai de Vítor Domingues esteve ligado ao vidro soprado, produzindo pequenos bonecos.

Diz Vítor que é emocionante rever gente crescida que há umas décadas iam pela mão dos pais até à sua lojinha comprar o copo de vidro com o nome gravado que ainda hoje conservam.
