About 2182 Vessel Wijnglas
2182 Vessel is een keramisch wijnglas ontworpen om premium champagne in te schenken. De vorm verwijst naar vier historische drinkvaten: de Patera, de Kylix, de Tazza-cup en de champagnecoupe. Een brede opening zorgt ervoor dat het aroma zich snel verspreidt. Het drinken verloopt in twee fasen. Het ondiepe bovenste deel bevat de eerste portie en ondersteunt de reukzin. Het smalle middenstuk vertraagt de oxidatie, waardoor de wijn in het diepere onderste deel zijn smaak behoudt. Het glas meet 50 mm in breedte, 50 mm in diepte en 140 mm in hoogte.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The wine glass is designed with the feature of big opening shared by the four types of glasses, which can enable the aroma to be quickly diffused. I hope to mobilize the user's senses as much as possible with more attraction from the perspectives of smell and taste.
The depth of the upper part is designed as per the extremely shallow state of the Tazza cup. The Tazza cup was regarded as a symbol of social status in Italy during the 16th century. To drink from such a shallow glass without spillage, the superb craftsmanship as well as the user's attention on the drink itself are also indispensable. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 50 mm x Depth 50 mm x Height 140 mm

- Production Technology
- Vessel made of ceramic materials
- Design Challenge
- The wine glass is designed to specially contain the premium champagne. The shape is designed by reference to four glass shapes of "Patera", "Kylix", "Tazza cup" and "champagne coupe".
- Research
- The speculative design attempts to encourage the drinkers to more focus on the drinking process with a better drinking experience through the ceramic structure.
- Inspiration
- Since the shape of wine glass will bring influence on the user's sense of taste and smell, I’ve studied various existing wine glasses during the design to decide on the shape and the wine type it’s suitable to contain.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2021 in London and finished in February 2022 in Jingdezhen.
- Operation Flow
- The drinking process will consist of two stages: the stage in the shallow upper part and the stage in the deep lower part. When the drinker starts to enjoy the wine in the upper part, the large opening of the glass can help the aroma diffuse more quickly to agitate the olfactory experience. When enjoying the wine in the lower part, because the small diameter in the middle can reduce the oxidation rate of the wine so that the taste will not be changed.
