Its compact bowl draws on research tracing the changing size of British wine glasses between 1700 and 2017—a period during which their average capacity increased sevenfold in response to shifts in glassmaking technology, taxation, social wealth and drinking culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9841\/7520\/files\/IMG_0768.jpg?v=1787416334\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy returning to a smaller form, commonstate reconnects the contemporary object with an earlier history of glass production, when vessels were individually formed by hand.

For commonstate, this repeated exchange becomes more than a practical gesture: it is a quiet expression of attention and care between those who share the table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: high-borosilicate glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: \u003cbr\u003eHeight 10.5 cm \/ 4.1 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eØ 7.5cm \/ 3 \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003einches\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace of Origin: China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout commonstate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecommonstate is a research-oriented art and design studio working between Beijing and London. Its practice draws upon speculative visions of future anthropology and archaeology, reconsidering the everyday condition of objects while exploring the contemporaneity of materials and the non-verbal languages they carry. Through continual experimentation, the studio brings artisanal knowledge into contemporary public view and encourages interdisciplinary conversations that move across boundaries of time and space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROMU Objects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54214027247984,"sku":null,"price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9841\/7520\/files\/IMG_0530.jpg?v=1787416394","url":"https:\/\/romuobjects.com\/products\/commonstate-short-wine-glass","provider":"ROMU Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
