Have you ever wondered about the story behind a unique glassware design? Let's dive into the creation of the Pony Pint, a classic "zombie" style pint cup perfect for enjoying cold drinks.
Research and Inspiration
Before diving into the design process, extensive research was conducted to understand the needs and preferences of the people. The goal was to create a versatile pint cup that would cater to a wide range of interests and occasions. I have been looking for the right general pint style of glass and I kept gravitating towards this classic shape.
Design Process
The Pony Pint is a "zombie" style glass which was chosen for its classic and timeless appeal, making it a standout piece in any glassware collection. The size and shape were carefully crafted to ensure a comfortable grip and optimal drinking experience. These cups are produced with a thicker bottom to withstand hearty cheers and pounds to the table. Since each cup is made by hand, they have slightly different volumes that range from 12-14 oz.
Materials
Quality materials were a top priority in the creation of the Pony Pint. The glass used is made by Spruce Pine Batch who dedicate their efforts to making top quality materials. Spruce Pine Batch is based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina in the heart of one of the highest grades of silica (a key ingredient in glass) in the world. There are mines in the area that are government owned and protected with precision security. The design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and practical. Many hours have been spent developing the colors and process of making each of these cups.
Versatility and Usage
The Pony Pint is a versatile glassware option suitable for a variety of beverages, from beer and cocktails to soda and iced tea. Its unique design makes it a conversation starter at parties and gatherings, adding a touch of style to any drink served in it. Like the other glasses in the Gallop and Glass collections, these cups colors reflect the tones of horse coat patterns and colors.
Next time you reach for a cold drink, consider the story behind the glassware you're using. The Pony Pint is not just a cup; it's a carefully crafted piece of design that enhances the drinking experience and adds a touch of elegance to any occasion.
