Palletini Glass: Love It Or Hate It?

August 11, 2007

Making an exceptionally perfect martini is an art that takes much practice. This artist's palate martini glass literally puts that concept into effect. The winner of the Bombay Sapphire martini glass blowing competition, the palletini (designed by Michael Kritzer) is a generous example of functional design. The alcohol becomes the paint, the bartender the artist, and the drinker a canvas for which the paint acts upon. Despite its impracticality, I love this glass for its sleekness and creative composition. Now that you know what I think, I want to know what you think, do you love or hate this artistic martini glass?

I really like it, but there's no way I'd serve more then one in it for fear of tipsy people and tricksy glasses.

WTF? how are you supposed to drink out of that thing? I think someone was drunk when they designed it!

I guess I'm not artsy-fartsy enough to appreciate that glass. I like "The People's Choice" entry.

It looks like the alcohol goes in the triangular shaped glass and you hold it by sliding your finger into that little nitch.

It's...different. After looking at the site though I think I prefer the Clasique Deluxxe and Dagu.
