Description
This is a clear, mouthblown cocktail glass with one small detail that changes the whole drink: a little flamingo figure standing inside the bowl. It rises on a slim clear post from the very bottom of the cone, so whatever you pour, the bird appears to wade through it. The glass holds 170ml, a sensible measure for a single classic cocktail. At 9cm across and 16cm tall, it has the wide conical bowl, long stem and round foot of the traditional shape.
It belongs wherever drinks are made with a little ceremony: a home bar, a drinks trolley, a birthday on a summer evening, a hen party or the first round at a dinner party. The flamingo makes it an easy talking point, and it suits anyone who likes a martini, a cosmopolitan or a mocktail served with a sense of humour. Because the figure stands inside the bowl rather than clipping onto the rim, the rim stays free for sipping, and every guest can spot the bird through the side of the glass.
The glass is mouthblown, and mouthblown glass is shaped by breath and hand, so small differences from one piece to the next are part of its character. It is not for the dishwasher, so wash it by hand and dry it with a soft cloth, taking a little care around the flamingo; it is not for the microwave or the oven either. At 0.18KG it sits light in the hand on its long stem. For a party, line up a few on a tray beside a cocktail shaker and a dish of olives, or give one as a gift with a favourite bottle and let the little bird start the conversation.
