The loose, architectural linework gives the imagery an almost hand-sketched quality, transforming classic ski-resort iconography into surprisingly sophisticated barware.

Each substantial clear glass has a simple cylindrical form with a heavy base, allowing the detailed illustration to take center stage. Gondola cars appear to float around the glass as the scene wraps continuously around the vessel—a particularly fun effect as the glass is turned in the hand.

The restrained black-and-clear palette gives these a distinctly Alpine Modern feel rather than overtly rustic ski-lodge kitsch. They would look fantastic on a bar alongside Scandinavian Modern, mid-century, 1970s or contemporary mountain-house furnishings and make an especially good gift for a skier.

Perfect for an Old Fashioned, whiskey, bourbon or après-ski cocktail after the last run of the day.
