Purple Bourbon/Scotch Glasses

A fun take on our traditional bourbon/scotch glasses! These intriguingly beautiful drinking glasses are one of the most popular items made in our studio in Skaneateles, NY. Each glass is a truly exquisite and unique creation from the hands of our designer and gaffer, Lorraine Austin. The thick bottom of clear glass gives them a reassuring heft, but the lip at the rim is elegantly thin, making them a pleasure to drink from. The edge of the glass's lip is finished with a hand-applied trail of transparent blue glass that causes the characteristic "blue ghost" effect in the base of the piece: when the glass is lit from above, the "ghost" seems to dance about, appear and disappear as the glass is handled. The bottom of each glass displays our studio's signature snake emblem. The main body of these glasses are purple, enhanced by a pattern of white trailing and eye-spot murrinnes that float and swirl around the glass. These pieces are individuals; made singly without molds, at the furnace by traditional off-hand glass working techniques. Size and color will vary slightly.
