#451: Wineslice

I’m increasingly irritated by trying to fit some large, spherical wine glasses into a small, rectangular cupboard.

Today’s invention is a new glass design which resembles those new vases I’ve seen: curvaceous strips sandwiched between two plexiglass plates.

As shown, this would allow the glasses to nest together neatly, Escher style. Storing these on their sides would save space and lessen the tendency for glassware to find itself nudged off the shelf and into oblivion via contact with the kitchen floor.

Careful design would also allow the ‘stem’ section to act as a glass too, as shown in the right hand picture (maybe taking on the role of sherry or port receptacle).
