Yummy enough to eat, but made of glass, these faceted cocktail rings are each slightly different.

The streamlined bottles are totally free of bisphenol-A (BPA), the toxic leach in the ubiquitous polycarbonate bottles, thanks to a specially formulated compound called Eastman Tritan™. Safety first, indeed. But, it's simply, the best-looking water bottle on the market. We love the crystal clear shell, inspired by the organic beauty of blown glass. The “no-worry cap” swivels open at the hinge with a touch of the button, and a special disk inside the top allows you to slip in a message or image to motivate or amuse you with each gulp. The wide mouth is large enough for ice cubes, while designed to minimize splashing. The integrated handle allows for comfy carrying. Made in North America. Holds 750ml of refreshing goodness. And the best part? One percent of sales benefit safe water programs worldwide! H2Oh! See less

Harry Allen obtained a suckling pig that had died of natural causes, and instead of roasting it, he cast it in resin and created this piggy bank. He’s such an animal fan that he donates $10 of every pig bank sale to the Humane Society. The bank is part of the New York artist’s Reality Series, an ongoing collection of “sampled” forms reimagined with function. The level of detail is amazing: We particularly love the critter's smooth nose and tiny tail. A shiny silver pig sits on our dining table and holds our loose change. With a slot on his back and a cork in his belly, he becomes a shiny amalgam of the decorative and the useful. * Packaging: Gift Box * Size: 19"l x 4.5" w x 10h * This item normally ships in 48 hours.

Like the name suggests, the Minima range is about the minimal. The emphasis of each object is a graphic silhouette, lacking superfluous detail, yet functional down to the smallest detail. The stopper is sealed in nylon to keep contents from reacting with air, making it ideal for fizzy drinks or wine. The softly colored blue glass is as strong as it is light. Ideal for milk, water or juice because each is sized to slot into the rack of a refrigerator door.

Maxim Vel&269;ovský—a fast-rising star in the design world—converts everyday, throwaway objects into art made of porcelain or glass. With the Fast Cup, the Czech designer created a Dixie-style cup of glass—each on is hand blown from borosilicate, so each is slightly different. Maxim explained that this was a deliberate choice - he wanted to take the form as far away from its plastic, mass-produced origins as possible. The lightness of this glass makes it a pleasure to drink from. See less
