The ince belli glass is designed to be held, watched and refilled. Its narrow waist gives the fingers a cooler place to meet; its clear body shows the strength of the brew before the first sip.
A room built around refills
Tea alters the tempo of a meeting. A tradesman can offer hospitality without suspending work. A guest can stay through another glass without announcing a decision. The empty saucer becomes a quiet signal, understood across offices, ferries, workshops and homes.
The glass is small because the conversation is expected to last.
