analogia project creates glassware collection in shapes of mythological creatures

analogia project presents a tableware collection of handblown vessels in the shape of five animals: a snail, a chicken foot, a dolphin tail, a hedgehog, and a ram. the rhyton collection draws on ancient culture and the world of antique drinking rituals, where wine has always played an important role during sacred and symbolic moments in human life.

the collection includes molded, surreal shapes, handmade by master glassblowers in murano, venice. analogia project follows the ancient tradition of glass animals to create new ceremonial symbols, hybrid cups that balance between reality and symbolism to populate modern table rituals. the collection is part of the collective exhibition ‘the surreal table’, which looks at the contemporary dining table as an experimental yet everyday world of sensorial experience, and is curated by davide fabio colaci inside the headquarters of santa margherita wine group in milan.
