The infamous droid from Star Wars is back and this time, he's in the form of the R2D2 10oz Glass for the liquor loving sci-fi fans.
The R2D2 10oz Glass has a very accurate design of the droid and perfectly replicates the character in every way from the blue colors to the look of the body. All the details were done by utilizing a traditional Japanese glass etching method called Kuriko that's been around since 1824. As a result of this technique, the body has more of a textured feel. The glass is quite sturdy as well as it's made for whiskey drinking, but I'm sure any hard alcohol or beverage will do just fine.
The R2D2 10oz Glass is a great marriage of traditional Japanese art forms and North American pop culture.
