One blow gives two glasses. The cup is blown in a plaster mould that sets the volume, and above the mould the cap swells out freely. The glass is cracked at the middle: the lower part becomes a drinking glass, the cap already has the shape of a coupe and becomes a party glass. The cap is thin enough to go up to the temperature of the warming oven and is mounted warm, on a stem and a foot formed freehand. Two rules govern the foot, the area and the thickness of the strands. The rest is movement. Four standard colours, and since the pot is not emptied between them, the in-between shades count as their own. Perennial. The base form mutates between rounds.
