Glass Ship in a Bottle Liquor Decanter: Grog Me!

Posted on 07/10/2021 by hite

Because fancy liquor demands a fancy decanter, retailer of things you didn’t know you needed Firebox is selling this very nautical $70 Ship In A Bottle Decanter. It features a borosilicate glass ship in a 750ml bottle, complete with cork stopper (ignore the glass one in the photos) for a satisfying ‘pop’ whenever it’s rum time. It’s five o’clock somewhere, right? Which means it’s also one o’clock somewhere else and time for my nap.

Obviously, any pirate captain would be remiss to not have a ship in a bottle decanter in his cabin. I mean without one how could his crew take him seriously and not mutiny? Just like the song goes, “Yo, ho, ho, and a ship in a bottle of rum.” It’s practically a requisite for not having to walk the plank.

I really want one, but I’m torn. On the one hand, my nautical/tiki themed office pretty much demands this ship in a bottle decanter be on display. But on the other hand, a hook. Get it? Pirate joke! Yarrrrrr!

Monopoly Glass Edition Features a See-through Game Board

Posted on 13/08/2021 by hite

Every other edition of Monopoly exists, so why not one with a glass board? Monopoly Glass Edition from the WS Game Company features a 16″ x 16″ tempered glass game board along with diecast zinc game tokens and translucent houses and hotels. Fine, but I get to be banker, and I will be wildly misappropriating funds to my own benefit.

Glass is cool, but if they really wanted to get fancy, they should have made the board out of crystal. And all the game tokens and houses and hotels out of precious gemstones. I mean, what else are eccentric billionaires going to spend their money on – going to space for five minutes?

Of course, I imagine the real purpose of making a glass board is to add an extra element of surprise and danger when I flip the game after losing. Will I have to use one of my get-out-of-jail-free cards, so my wife doesn’t make me sleep on the sofa? You know there’s a reason I take them from every Monopoly game I come across.

Stunning modern home comes with an all-glass conservatory that intersects through the architecture!

Posted on 29/07/2021 by Sarang Sheth

You’ve never seen a skylight look this beautiful! Meet the Chalet-2, a modern bungalow-style home designed by Ukrainian architect and interior designer, Alex Svyryd. Designed in black, with almost cabin-like proportions, the home boasts of a clean, Scandinavian-inspired design that sort of looks like a rock with a crystal jutting through it. The crystal in question, is the Chalet-2’s gorgeous conservatory, which cuts through the building’s architecture, creating a two-way window that allows outsiders to admire the chalet’s interiors, and the home’s residents to get a stunning view of their surroundings… enjoyed best at sunset with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate between your hands!

The house’s black appearance tends to give it an air of secrecy, but the glass conservatory almost challenges that, providing a beautiful peek into the house’s warm and cozy, wooden interiors. The conservatory even acts as a skylight, allowing light to make its way through right into the house’s living room, illuminating the interiors with a shaft of direct natural light that diffuses all over the house, illuminating it beautifully during the day.

Sinking Ship Cocktail Glass: You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

Posted on 19/05/2021 by hite

Presumably inspired by the Titanic (which also had four smokestacks and sank), this is the Sinking Ship cocktail glass available from FireBox. The $19 drinking vessel has a handblown glass ship inside, so you can pretend you’re Poseidon releasing his wrath upon humanity by swirling the glass to create a whirlpool and making a mess all over the living room carpet.

I’ve heard of a ship in a bottle before, but never a ship in a glass. FireBox suggests mixing a blue curaçao based drink in the vessel and adding a few large ice cubes for Titanic realism or filling the glass with coffee liqueur to resemble an oil spill. Alternatively, fill the glass with red sangria and pretend sharks are having a feeding frenzy.

The borosilicate glass is hand-wash only and comes with a warning to add ice cubes carefully and not just toss them in willy-nilly, because the last thing you want is to break off a jagged piece of glass then accidentally swallow it thinking it’s ice. Speaking from firsthand experience, that can really ruin date night.

These ‘melting’ mirrors add a surreal Dali-inspired touch to your interior spaces!

Posted on 22/02/2021 by Sarang Sheth

While the Melt Mirrors aren’t exactly functional enough to really be the kind of mirrors you’d use to check your outfit or fix your hair, they use mirrors to provide a unique effect on plain walls. The curved, almost fabric-esque mirrors hang on your wall like a curtain or towel hangs on a hook, creating an interesting effect by looking like a portal into another dimension. These mirrors ‘drape’ themselves on wooden dowels and instantly turn blank walls into conversational elements.

The mirrors explore “reality vs. perception” through material as well as through form. They come in four shape variants, and are available across multiple glass-colors, including Clear, Bronze, Peach, and Black-tinted glass options. The wooden dowels come in dark walnut and light oak wood options too, really helping customize your ‘melting mirror’ to suit your space. Perfect for indoor as well as outdoor use, the mirrors are best placed on a plain wall, facing a dramatic arrangement like a rug, planter, pool, or the skies. That allows them to reflect what’s in front of them, instantly turning your boring wall into something more attractive and surrealist!

Star Trek: The Next Generation Whiskey Decanter Set

Posted on 21/12/2020 by hite

Because boldly going where no man has gone before is excuse enough for a cocktail, this is the Star Trek: The Next Generation 5-Piece Whiskey Decanter Set from Robe Factory and available on Amazon for $100 (affiliate link). Jim Beam me up, Scotty.

The set includes a 26-ounce decanter etched with the United Federation of Planets logo along with the USS Enterprise’s NCC-1701-D designation and delta shield. The 10-ounce tumbler glasses also include the Enterprise’s designation as well as the delta shield, and the whole set has a unique curve to it so it’s clear they’re from outer space and the future.

Call me old fashioned, but I drink my whiskey straight from the bottle it comes in. That way I don’t have to wash any extra glasses, because I don’t live in the future and my apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher. Well I mean it does, but I’m it.

This luxury Whiskey Glass has a drink-cooling scale-down model of Mt. Everest at its base!

Posted on 27/11/2020 by Sarang Sheth

I quite literally mean it when I say that the Everest Whiskey Glass is at the pinnacle of fine-spirit drinkware. Designed to elevate your drinking experience, the luxury glass comes with a 1:230,000 model of Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world. The mountain comes modeled right into the base of the glass, shimmering through your spirit just like a rock of clear ice would, but it does MUCH more than add to the visual element of your drink… let’s literally and figuratively dive in!

The Everest Whiskey Glass comes as a collaboration between Liiton and award-winning designer Nina Brunn, who’s work has earned her a Red Dot Design Award and representation in the permanent collection at the Museum of Arts and Design. The Mt. Everest replica at the base is true-to-scale, capturing the beauty and the grandeur of the tall mountain, while it punctuates your drink with its shimmering elegance. Its presence serves as an ice-breaker (pun intended) while helping aerate your spirit, and even allowing you to measure your drinks against the mountain’s ascent. The height of the mountain helps you measure out your drinks – pouring your alcohol till Everest’s basecamp gives you roughly 1.5oz, while going till Camp B measures 3oz. Pour your drink all the way to Everest’s summit and you’ve effectively got 4.5oz of spirit, which you can then either drink neat, or top off with water or ice… although that’s where Everest’s next feature comes in.

The base of the Everest glass comes embedded with its proprietary Chill Charge System, which lets the decorative mountain also function as a whiskey-stone. Just store the Everest glass in the freezer and take it out before a drink, and its unique property allows it to effectively and evenly chill your drink in under 20 seconds without watering it down the way ice would, or coming in the way of your drinking experience, like whiskey stones would.

The luxury whiskey glasses come in a set of 4, with an optional Everest decanter to preserve and serve your eclectic spirits. The glasses work wonderfully with a variety of liquors, be it whiskey, scotch, single-malt, rum, brandy, or even cocktails and aperitifs that you’d normally served in whiskey-glasses. Each glass set comes meticulously wrapped in a gifting box too, making it great for if you’re treating yourself to an early Christmas, or gifting a loved one a truly high-quality drinking experience, that too with the highest summit on Earth!
