Despite its small size, designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, it possesses a substantial weight that gathers towards the base, providing a sensation of quiet immersion when held. The rim flares ever so slightly, creating a balanced silhouette that is pleasing to the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe variations in thickness and the presence of tiny air bubbles, a result of the blown glass technique, are visible throughout the piece. These features catch the light, revealing delicate shadows and a subtle haze. Within its unadorned surface lies a gentle undulation and distortion, silently reflecting the quality of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe thickness of the base serves a visual purpose, creating an illusion that lightly suspends the liquid within. The refraction caused by this thickness softens the light, imparting understated shifts in the color and contour of the beverage. Consequently, the essence of the contents is harmoniously aligned with the vessel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis glass has been widely used for everyday drinks such as absinthe, red wine, or water, remaining free from ostentatious designs or strong theatricality. Its form has evolved with usage, embodying an order of utility that reflects its practical purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent condition, the glass surface shows no significant chips or cracks, gently preserving the atmosphere of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51095502487833,"sku":null,"price":183.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2025072711144.jpg?v=1753629337","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-sg\/products\/antique-other-glass-products-44","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
