Revolution Wine and Water Glass, Prototype

Description

The Revolution Wine and Water Glasses and Revolution Liqueur Glasses, designed by Chicago-based architect and designer Felicia Ferrone and made in Italy, change from half-empty to half-full depending on the mood of the user. These glasses are mouth blown and combine two different glasses into one stunningly simple piece. When in use, the liquid in the glass appears to float above the surface. The glasses are designed to illustrate the reciprocal relationship between water and wine when the two are placed side by side.
