Description
This glass and metal whiskey tumbler carries five silver jets flying in an arrowhead formation across its clear glass, above a shiny silver-coloured metal base that bears the words RED ARROWS around its band. It is a round tumbler that stands 10.5cm tall and 8.5cm across, a comfortable size to hold in one hand for a measure of whisky, neat or over ice. The clear glass lets the jets catch the light from every side, so the formation reads clearly whether the tumbler is full or empty, and the polished band at the foot gives the whole piece a smart, finished look.
It sits happily on a sideboard, a home bar shelf or the desk in a study, where the jets and the lettering on the base make a ready talking point between drinks. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, a glass to bring out for a quiet evening dram or a celebratory toast, and one that looks just as good kept on display as it does in use. It suits a drinks cabinet where each glass has its own character, and it brings a little of the thrill of a flypast to the end of the day.
The tumbler pairs clear glass with a metal base in a shiny finish, and the silver jets stand out against the glass so the formation shows from across the room. As good practice for glass with a metal band, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it straight away with a soft cloth, then give the base and the jets a quick polish with a dry cloth to keep their shine. For a gift, set it beside a favourite bottle of whisky and the Father's Day present is ready to go.
