Mincius
Mincius is a hand-blown drinking glass made of heat-resistant glass. The form simulates stacked Zen rocks, linking nature with daily life. When the liquid reaches several different heights, a naturally formed heart shape can be seen as the glass is turned, supporting a moment of calm reflection. The streamlined body allows people with different hand sizes to hold the glass comfortably. Mincius holds drinks of various temperatures and can be washed in a dishwasher. When empty and inverted, the glass serves as a small ornament. It measures 103 mm in width and 91 mm in height.

The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that rewards exceptional design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
