A heavy, straight-sided tumbler with twenty-four facets cut into the lower half on the diamond wheel. Room for one large cube and a long pour of something amber; the cut scatters its colour across the table.
From the matcher: how well the Facet holds each drink, and where another glass does it better.
Maud blows every Facet into the same beech mould so a set stacks true. Tobias marks the facets by eye, cuts them on a diamond wheel in eleven minutes a glass, and polishes them in acid-free pumice until the edges flash.

Something we have not covered? Maud answers letters herself, usually the same afternoon.
Yes — a 5 cm cube or a 5.5 cm sphere sits in it with room to pour around. Most silicone moulds make one of those two.
A light tint in the base that fades to clear at the rim, like weak tea held to the light. The facets show up more strongly against it.
The mould keeps the shape within a millimetre, but every cut is placed by eye, so you may see a facet a hair longer on one glass than its pair. We think of it as a signature.
The Facet is part of the permanent cabinet, so it will be here next year and the year after. Single replacement glasses are £34.
The Reed for the long drinks, the Still carafe for the water on the table. £44 a pair and £68.
