The design and style of glassware in the movies can transcend period, genre and galaxy. We invite you to <\/span>join us on a bar crawl through film as Fiona Cole samples some of Film And Furniture\u2019s finest whiskey glasses and provides the low down on where you can get your hands on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

In film, the sharp cracking sound of warm whiskey hitting frost-fresh ice can be a cue that something\u2019s about to be shared: a confession, a new alliance, the beginning of the end or simply a ‘relaxing time’. Wherever the scene is taking place, the clink of swirling ice evokes a moment of civility, often, at a point when things start to take a different turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good case in point is Tony \u201cGive me a scotch I\u2019m starving\u201d Stark and Loki sharing a rare moment of calm in The Avengers<\/em><\/a>, directed by Joss Whedon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The glassware has a metal base in the scene, which may have been painted: giving a visual nod to the heavy metal earthiness of Loki\u2019s world, Asgard. That\u2019s a hard working whiskey glass. It\u2019s not only linking universes but embellishing two characters\u2019 short lived camaraderie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep an eye on the bartender during our bar crawl, it\u2019s possible he\u2019s either an android, the last face you\u2019ll ever see or a figment of your imagination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The barman who is a figment of the imagination: The Overlook Hotel bar scene in The Shining.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The scene in which Jack Torrance drinks a whiskey in the bar of The Overlook Hotel in The Shining<\/em><\/a> directed by Stanley Kubrick<\/a>, is beautifully calm and utterly unnerving in equal measure. Not least for some, because Jack is served Jack Daniels, a Tennessee Whiskey. Nothing is as it seems here.<\/span> Hang on. A character named Jack played by Jack, drinking Jack Daniel\u2019s and the character\u2019s son\u2019s called Danny? I digress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light years away and yet on strikingly familiar ground is the bar scene in Passengers<\/em><\/a> directed by Morten Tyldum, where Jim Preston played by Chris Pratt, takes many a drink in the company of a barman who seems just too good to be true.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lost in Translation<\/em><\/a> sees Bill Murray\u2019s character Bob Harris deliver a performance, with varying degrees of intensity in an ad for a Japanese whisky. And it\u2019s a hell of a glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holding that glass was what Bob Harris was in Japan to do (to advertise Suntory Hibiki<\/a> 17 year old whisky) and was also drinking whisky when he met Charlotte in the bar of the Toyko Park Hyatt. <\/span><\/p>\n

The original glass featured in the Suntory advert in Lost in Translation <\/em>appears to be the <\/span>Baccarat Massena glass tumbler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Batman V Superman<\/em><\/a> directed by Zach Snyder<\/a>, Bruce Wayne\u2019s tumbler of choice appears to be the Baccarat crystal Harmonie<\/a>, a glass that seems to raise itself. A creative choice, in high society contrast to the lakeside setting of Bruce Wayne\u2019s home<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming back to the whiskey glass in the bar scene of The Shining<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>From a director such as Kubrick, loved for his complex multi layers of detail, the name of the design is, alas, unknown.\u00a0<\/span>Do you have information? Care to have a drink?<\/span><\/p>\n
