Jellyfish Cocktail Glass with Tentacle Base for Parties

Yes. The wavy legs spread into a wide foot, so the glass stands steady on a table or bar top with a full pour in the bowl. Lift it by the bowl rather than the legs, the same way you would hold any stemmed glass.

Hand wash it. Use warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, then dry it fully before putting it away. The tentacles are the thinnest part of the glass, and a dishwasher cycle with hard jets and knocking against other glassware is the fastest way to chip them.

It is built to be used. Pour, carry and refill it the way you would a regular cocktail glass, and keep it out of stacks of heavier glassware. Store it upright with space around the legs and it will hold up through a long run of parties.

A plain martini glass gives you a clear bowl and nothing else. This one keeps the same clear bowl and adds a sculpted base, so the drink gets a visual identity. If you already own a set of types of drinking glasses, this one is the piece you bring out when the drink should be the star.

It is one of the easier novelty gifts to give. One glass costs less than a full set of stemware, arrives as a single piece, and gives the honoree a drink worth photographing. Pair it with their favorite spirit and a short card suggesting the first toast.
