Cocktail Vessels

A bar builds a signature cocktail for months and then serves it in the same glass as everything else. Ordering moulded glassware solves that, but only above minimums no independent bar can justify, with tooling costs and months of lead time before the first sample.

Every vessel is modelled around its serve: the volume it holds, how a hand takes it, where the garnish sits, what the ice does to the colour. It is printed in tinted resin in the studio and finished by hand. With no tooling in the way, the first piece and the fiftieth cost the same to change — a colour, a texture, a name on the base can move between one run and the next.

A range produced in translucent blue, teal, green and rose, plus painted gold: tentacle coupes, tiki mugs, textured tumblers and character pieces. Made to order for bars and events, in runs from a handful to several dozen, and reordered a colour at a time.
