The Glass Tank drinking vessel by Kouichi Okamoto eliminates the need to get up to refill your glass. The inverted teardrop-shaped reservoir holds an evening’s worth of vino and has a goblet built into the side. Combined air pressure and water pressure allow just enough wine to flow into the glass, resulting in a continuous refill.
Imagine a dinner party table set with an individual Glass Tank at each place setting! You have to admit the $329 ultra-stylish carafe is much more elegant than potential alternatives like the box sitting at the edge of the table or worse, a pitcher and a straw!
