Bombay Sapphire is pretty unique with a delicate botanical flavor. Of course the most luxe martini drink demands the same from accompanying glassware. Benjamin Hubert has designed a martini glass to reflect that aesthetic. Hand blown and shaped, this martini glass evokes the organic and botanical sensibility of Bombay Sapphire. Of course when not in use, turn the glass over and use it as a coat rack for your hamster!
Designer: Benjamin Hubert
The following images illustrate the process. 1. Shaping the molten glass.

I don’t think it’s nice.But glad to see the process.
my thoughts exactly

Thanks to show step by step process !!
Nice craftmanship but where is design?
Nice process shots for an unremarkable product. Try using some of that creative energy on the bottle because they’ve missed out on a great opportunity with the glass.
doh – someone beat me to it, I was just about to paste in the same link 🙁
shame it’s not an original idea! Bombay should request their money back and etienne should sue him!
LoL!
benjamin forget this glass project!!!!
I like it,
THIS IS DESIGN,
NEW,
Never seen before…
no it doesn’t solve a problem, but in artistic way it is suprising!
The whole process just amazed me … Thanks for the post 🙂
So…no third foot? No pontil? Just anneal, cut, and fire-polish?
It sure is surprising that the classiest of drinks should be imbibed from the tackiest of glasses.
Old school class will NEVER be out of style. Don’t try to improve upon it, rather try to embrace it.

I really like this. Why? A couple reasons. Firstly, it's very pretty; i.e., a nice design. Second, and most importantly, it's actually MADE. 99% of the junk on Yanko is completely and totally unfeasable. Here's something that's not only cool, it's realistic. Kudos, my friend.
