Mincius
Mincius is a hand-blown drinking glass made of heat-resistant glass. The form simulates stacked Zen rocks, linking nature with daily life. When the liquid reaches several different heights, a naturally formed heart shape can be seen as the glass is turned, supporting a moment of calm reflection. The streamlined body allows people with different hand sizes to hold the glass comfortably. Mincius holds drinks of various temperatures and can be washed in a dishwasher. When empty and inverted, the glass serves as a small ornament. It measures 103 mm in width and 91 mm in height.
