Large Blown Glass Wine Cup measures 3-7/8" high, 3" diameter across the body, and 2-3/8" across the top. Very dynamic, almost electrifying, very bold. Blood red and white against a bold canary yellow, with a canary yellow interior as well. Nice fluid lip edge, organic shape and feel, and nice tactile qualities with the molton colored glass applications raised above the sureface. This cup is somewhat larger than most winecups I offer, and is also quite different in design. I will be putting another up for auction tomorrow that is a variation of this one but with similar color and feel. Brand new in perfect condition (as are all the wine cups I offer), this one was made this past week. Signed Watson Everything done on this and all of my winecups, is done with molton glass. Everything is done while the glass is in a molton state, shaping, design work, color applications, etc. Nothing is done to the glass once it leaves the end of the punty rod, except to anneal it. (I mention this because some people are confused as to how the color is added, it is all glass, the color being condensed color glass rods from Germany and other parts of the world.) As with all my wine cups, the natural punty mark is recessed slightly in the base. The punty mark is a wonderful mark of it's being handmade, an important part of it's creation, the point w it was joined for it's development then seperated. Just like belly buttons, and just as most people don't remove their belly buttons, I leave the punty marks. Perfect for a Special Gift or to keep yourself. These wine cups are so much more interesting to hold and to drink from than traditional wine glasses. Try one for a different experience and you'll see. Most of my wine cups are fairly similar in size to a wine glass bowl section, just without the stem and foot. I believe my winecups to be very unusual and unique. They each have their own personality, and are very comfortable to hold. It is a very different, pleasurable experience to drink wine from one of these cups. Of course, even if you don't drink wine, this cup would be a pleasure to own or would make a truly unique gift for someone special. This is an original, one of a kind, handblown glass work that is a pleasure to look at and to use. Made by and signed Watson. Please click on 'sellers other items' or on my ebay store to see more. My website shows more of my work. Lots of wine cups with multiple closeups of each, glass, pottery tea bowls, paintings and more. Take a look at Each piece of my work is one of a kind. All of my winecups have the natural punty mark in a slightly recessed base. One Important Note: These glass cups are not meant for hot liquid such as Tea or Coffee. The glass you see used for coffee cups or hot use is pyrex or another form of borosilicate glass, a glass made for hot use, and is not the glass I use. With most non-pyrex glass such as mine, coffee or tea poured into it would likely cause thermal shock and cracking or breakage. Also please note the size, as I take closeups so that all the fantastic detail can be seen, and the photos sometimes make the cup appear larger than it is. I do combine shipping on the wine cups. If combining, please wait for the final invoice with the reduced shipping to pay. Regular shipping on the first wine cup is charged, then 1.50 shipping is added for each additional cup that is included in the same invoice/shipment. Please do not hesitate to email if you have any questions. read more
