About 2182 Vessel 葡萄酒杯

2182 Vessel 是一款用于盛放优质香槟的陶瓷酒杯。其造型借鉴了四种historic饮器：帕特拉浅盘杯（Patera）、基里克斯杯（Kylix）、塔扎高脚杯（Tazza）以及香槟阔口杯。宽阔的杯口使酒香得以迅速散发。饮用过程分为两个阶段：较浅的上部承载第一口酒液，充分调动嗅觉体验；狭窄的中段则减缓氧化速度，使较深的下部所盛酒液得以保持原有风味。该酒杯宽50毫米、深50毫米、高140毫米。

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
Tags: enjoy, experience, drinking, speculative, smell
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.
