Description

MAV Glass builds this 18″ beaker in California with a hand-worked wigwag section — swirled colour rods fused and twisted into the glass rather than painted on, so no two pieces are identical. It ships with a 5″ wigwag downstem stepping 18mm down to 14mm.

Why it stands out

Wigwag is a labour-intensive glassblowing technique, and MAV carries the pattern through to the matching downstem rather than stopping at the tube. At 18 inches with an 18mm-to-14mm downstem, it is a full-size beaker with a real water column, not a decorative piece.

One (1) beaker with the matching wigwag downstem.

Compatibility

Takes a 14mm male bowl. Replacement downstems must be 18mm-to-14mm at 5 inches to sit correctly.

Care

Support the downstem when cleaning — it is the most fragile part of the piece. Isopropyl and salt for the chamber.

Good to know

Because the wigwag is hand-pulled, the exact placement and density of the colour varies piece to piece.
