Serve and be served. This Wine Carafe With Glass by Claudio Colucci is a wine carafe and glass in one. It's all handblown from a single piece of glass, and no two of these are alike. We love the "ship in a bottle" aspect of this design.
It sells for $95 at the MoMA Store, but is currently on backorder until February of '08. Would be great to have around for the holidays or as a gift for the wine lover you know, but hey, there's always next year.

This is making my head hurt because I don't get it...
Silly design, very, very silly.
It seems like its just for decoration. It would be difficult to clean and once you put wine in it, well depending on the wine you wont see the glass. Maybe a nice vase?
MoMA today, landfill tomorrow.
I don't get it. Does the glass stay in the bottle? Does it come out so that you can somehow drink out of it?
Alcoholic's Nightmare.
I think it's very cool looking, and as a hand blown art object one has to appreciate the craft of this. On the other hand...I agree it looks impossible to clean. This is way less impressive with a gummy ring of red wine stuck on the inside.
Finally! A way for me to not feel guilty about drinking straight from the bottle!
And just like the carafe we saw a few days ago, completely not functional. It's a beautiful design, I agree, but definitely one to keep on the shelf and never attempt using. I hope that was the designer's intention.
Easy to clean: just crush and melt it, then reblow into the original shape.
I don't understand any of this.
it's a clever dust catcher -- something to put out to amuse the guests.
by the way, if it's dishwasher safe, why couldn't you clean it?
Another pointless object :(
How on earth would you put this in the dishwasher?
