In 1981, a mysterious buyer purchased a handful of glasses designed by Cini Boeri at the Arnolfo di Cambio store in Beverly Hills. The following year, the glasses appeared in the iconic sci-fi film Bladerunner, when Harrison Ford’s character, Deckard, drinks from one.
I was inspired by Boeri’s silhouette and made what you see here, which I’ve dubbed the “Unicorn Cup.”
It’s designed in CAD software and constructed in a very high quality black porcelain, created using a ceramic 3d printer. This cup is handmade and finished — the inside is glazed a custom reactive metallic and the exterior remains raw , accenting the lines and form with orange underglaze, and hinting at how the cup was made.
Holds 7-8oz, a comfortable size for a nightcap or cocktail.
Designed, assembled, hand finished, and fired in Burbank, CA by one person.
