Ichendorf Vegetables tumbler

Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, the Ichendorf Vegetables tumbler is a joyful meeting between transparency and imagination. It reinterprets the classic drinking glass through miniature vegetable figures placed delicately at the bottom. Whether it features an artichoke, a pumpkin, a tomato or a chili pepper, each version carries its own expressive charm. Placed near sculptural pieces from the Ichendorf collection, it contributes to a table setting filled with colour, personality and quiet humour.

A handmade object with a lively soul

Handmade and flame-worked in borosilicate glass, the Vegetables tumbler showcases the skilled craftsmanship that defines Ichendorf glassware. The flame-working process shapes the cylinder, rim and tiny vegetable figures with gentle precision, creating an object that is both light and resilient. Borosilicate glass ensures clarity and durability, making the tumbler suitable for daily use while retaining its playful sophistication. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures, it remains brilliant over time, and the small handmade variations in shape give each tumbler a subtle individuality.

A colourful tribute to nature

The vegetable elements inside the tumbler are what give this design its distinctive character. The rounded artichoke, the smooth tomato, the elongated pepper or the bright pumpkin each introduce a unique mood. These miniature sculptures echo the poetic approach typical of Alessandra Baldereschi glass, where familiar shapes are transformed into lighthearted accents. Their presence adds warmth to everyday rituals: a glass of water, juice or lemonade becomes a cheerful moment, enriched by the colours and forms displayed through the transparent walls.

Thanks to its playful style, the tumbler blends easily into a variety of table arrangements. Its clear structure allows it to pair naturally with pitchers, bottles or stemware from the Vegetables collection, creating lively harmonies across shapes and colours. Placed near ceramic pieces or modern table settings, it becomes a decorative accent that lifts the atmosphere of the room. These qualities make it an appealing choice for those who enjoy creative drinkware collection pieces with a touch of storytelling.

A small treasure for everyday use

Despite its artistic personality, the Vegetables tumbler is practical and comfortable to hold. The glass has a balanced weight, and its smooth rim offers a pleasant drinking experience. It also serves beautifully as a decorative item on a shelf or a desk, where the vegetable figure becomes a tiny sculpture enclosed in glass. This thoughtful combination of playfulness and craftsmanship reflects the spirit of handmade borosilicate glassware, making the tumbler a meaningful object for gifting or collecting.
