InsideOut Collection Martini Glasses

I'm always on the lookout for cool martini glasses and recently ran across these. Here's a little about them from the site:

The InsideOut Collection of barware turns the common knowledge of what a drinking glass should look like on its head. In AMT's collection of barware, the well known and oftentimes iconic shapes of glasses are hidden behind a neutral and discreet outer shape, unassuming and simple. But once you pour the drink, the glass' inner identity appears creating an unusual and highly fascinating effect. The Martini glass is particularly amazing because it is a lot shorter than the usual Martini glass, but it creates a wonderful presentation and is a lot better to hold than balancing an overly wide glass filled to the rim on a thin stem…

Besides the visual beauty, there is another extremely convincing argument: your drink simply doesn't warm as fast as it would in a normal martini glass as you are not touching it at all and if you really want it cold, chill the glasses in the freezer and create an amazing visual presentation.

The glasses are only up for pre-sale right now, come in a set of two for $55.00, and can be bought at the Charles & Marie site HERE.

Crystal Bar Trunk

This is another find from the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog. I'm not really sure if I would ever want to travel with this, but it's interesting anyway.

This rosewood bar trunk has brass accents and a leather trim. Inside, it is stocked with an array of the world's finest barware in Irish crystal, along with a crystal clock and serving dish. Finally, there's also a four-piece sterling silver-plated bar tool set and eight Versace canapé serving plates.

You would think for the $16,000 asking price they could throw in some good wine, or at least something to make a good martini with, but I'm assuming the crystal is pretty impressive.

You can buy the trunk at the Neiman Marcus site HERE.

InsideOut Champagne Glasses

Designed by AlissiaMT, the InsideOut Collection of barware is something unique. In AMT's collection of barware, the well known shapes of normal glasses are hidden behind a neutral and basic outer shape, that reveails itself once you pour in your favorite drink.

Besides the cool look of the glasses, there's an added bonus: your drink simply doesn't warm as fast as it would in a normal champagne glass, since there space between the outer and inner glass. Also, if you really want it cold, the glasses are made so that they can be chilled in the  freezer.

You can purchase the glasses HERE.

Keep your martini chilled

In these martini cubes, the martini glass sits on top of a glass cube. This allows you to fill the glass cube with ice and keep your martini chilled. It also comes with a tray to hold the four glasses.

You can buy the glasses over at ZGallerie HERE.  (via CribCandy)
