Designers Peter Crisp, Tom Dixon, Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders, Eva Zeisel, Ulla Darna, Dakota Jackson and Michael Graves have joined with Bombay Sapphire to auction off 19 exclusive martini glasses to raise money for cancer research.
The highly decorated glasses were all inspired by Peter Crisp's original ornate glass designed in 2000. This was adorned with 226 sapphires inset into 22 carat gold and platinum and was valued at $25,000. The new collector's glasses include a recreation of Crisp's 2000 design.
