The coolest glass ever, shattered, now what?

February 6, 2006 5:06 PM

A friend bought me a set of glasses from a street vendor. One of them got broken...please help me find another!

So, my friend found a guy who cracks the bottom of Red Stripe beer bottles and blows out the neck to make a drinking glass. One of them took about a week before it shattered on my kitchen floor. The vendor (now that it's after the holidays) is no where to be found. Know anyone else who does such a thing? Or how to find this guy? It was in Union Square (NYC) during December.

This company makes an excellent line of glasses from recycled wine bottles. They are awesome! They don't use beer bottles, so it's not exactly what your looking for maybe, but I highly recommend them if you can't find your Red Stripe guy.

There are a lot of variations, and people are more likely to remember the look of something than a specific like "Red Stripe beer bottles" -- post a pic!

These aren't Red Stripe, but they're the same kind of thing.
