Glasses&Cups

While bottles are built for the journey, cups and glasses are designed for the destination. They are the vessels of hospitality, comfort, and ritual, turning the simple act of drinking into an experience.

The Anatomy of the Vessel

Though they serve a similar purpose, their construction varies to suit the drink:

  • The Rim: The edge where the liquid meets the lips; a thin rim is preferred for fine wine, while a thick rim offers durability for coffee mugs.

  • The Bowl: The main body that holds the liquid. Wide bowls allow spirits to "breathe," while tall, narrow bowls keep carbonated drinks bubbly.

  • The Handle/Stem: Designed to keep the heat of your hand away from the beverage (or vice versa).

  • The Foot: The base that ensures the vessel stands tall and stable on the table.
