These luxurious tumblers are made of a natural Amethyst. Their ‘hosting’ stone is as well the stone of their origin. It functions as their holder & keeper.
It is an impressive autonomous object by it self.
These can add much festivity to a shared moment of a luxurious drink in a cozy company.
Each of the items reveals the traces of its making & manifests its natural, raw appearance.
These are part of our ‘Dining-Vessels’ project.
For that project we have been questioning and observing the varied significances and utensils for dining as a custom. Which, as assumed, began since men created a community. From its very beginning, it is commonly a custom of sharing, being together, merely. Whether it is for the sake of a daily necessity, feeding. A kind of celebration, or a romantic dinner for two. It is in fact a ceremony. For which men invented & incorporated so many varied accessories & utensils to grant the participants the possibility to unfold all that it offers. From practical dining vessels which allowed the sharing & eating of the food easily & pleasantly, to atmosphere influencers such as a central fire around which all could gather. Candle holders spread between the presented dishes to see & be seen. Flower vases, chandeliers hovering above the table, & more. When placing aside the mere necessity of eating, this ceremony holds from sensual experiences of smell, flavour, sight, sound, to the practice of communication, closeness, at times with a dash of intimacy.
We have chosen to highlight its festivity & by our vessels to bring forward two aspects. The one is the aspect of sharing (all our vessels are made as sets, there is no fitting item for the solitaire dinner/eater) & the other is the manifestation of sight & touch, hence directing the spot-light to colour, form, structure & all that the eye is capable to grasp.
After all, the eye is the first to feast.
