Botanica Buds Stemmed Glass

Ichendorf pairs long-established glassmaking techniques with a contemporary eye, a tradition of handwork in which no two pieces are quite alike. The Botanica Buds Stemmed Glass by Ichendorf brings that craft to the table in a design drawn by Alessandra Baldereschi, whose work carries a light, imaginative touch. The slender stem and hand-shaped bowl suit a formal dinner as readily as an unhurried supper at home, sitting well beside plainer glassware already in the cupboard. An understated piece, well regarded for its balance of delicacy and everyday usefulness, and made to be brought out often rather than kept on display.
