Anna Varendorff – Bottoms Up and Down Glass (sterling silver) 2022

Making a toast to the others, to the future, to achievements and to the honoured, toasting brings both formality and revelry together. Playing upon the idea of bringing things together, Anna Varendorff's invertible glasses offer you choice in your toast, choice in the beverage you fancy in the moment of the 'top up'. Will you have another cocktail? Or move on to the sparkling wine? They are funny, practical and save on the post party washing up. Bottoms up!
