Circle Back Vol. 18

Ten gifts, made from glass, with our suggested pairings

---

1. Lucie Claudia Podrabska Mouthblown Carafe inspired by medieval goblets for wine and feasting, this carafe is adorned with little globs and blobs of glass, which are both decorative and functional for extra support with slippery hands. 

   Suggested pairing: A bouquet of glass flowers

2. RETE Medium glass by Laguna~B Elevate most drinking experiences with hand-blown glasses featuring a delicate woven pattern — they’re almost too precious to drink from.

   Suggested pairing: Le Fizz over ice 

3. Agustina Bottoni NEREIDA — coupe glass “Is that olive stuck in my glass or have I had one too many dirty martinis” kinda cup… am I right?!

   Suggested pairing: A cold martini with Frankie’s olives

4. BOUNCE Egg Cup Like an egg bounced into a ball of glass and made a little nest.

   Suggested pairing: A soft-boiled farmar egg

5. Mid-Century Transparent Glass Bowl Ashtray Element, Italy, 1970s (vintage) An elevated thrift from Italy that feels like it fell straight off the set of The Talented Mr Rippley. 

   Suggested pairing: Botanical joints or a dish full of Jones mints 

6. La Rochere Zinc Tumbler Everyday cups, upgraded… because this is a gift guide afterall; everything need not be practical. 

   Suggested pairing: A classic scoop of good ol’ vanilla 

7. Marteen Baptist Glass Tea Infuser Calibrating optimal brew time can feel like a science experiment, so why not lean in with these tea tubes?

   Suggested pairing: Any loose-leaf Masha Tea

8. Bormioli Hosteria 9.5 oz. Large Stackable Wine Glass Realizing glassware is intentionally stackable is the equivalent of realizing that a new dress has pockets — the feeling of convenience you didn’t know you were missing.  

   Suggested pairing: A gluggable red

9. Block Design Amber & Cobalt Medium Bubble Dish The everyday dish with a splash of color crafted with borosilicate laboratory glass makes it extra durable.

   Suggested pairing: a handfull of t-joe’s pistachios
