Bullet-Embedded Shot Glasses

This Custom Made Glass Features a Real Bullet Fixed into Their Sides

— January 19, 2016 — Art & Design
Wisconsin-based glass studio Benshot is responsible for the unique design of these conversation starting and bullet-embedded shot glasses.

Each and every 'Bulletproof Shot Glass' is custom-made and features an actual bullet sticking out of the side of each cup, appearing to almost be bursting through. Although it certainly makes for a peculiar decoration, the company wants to also let potential users know that its 1.5 ounce cups are perfectly safe to drink from. There is no need to worry about any lead or gunpowder seeping into your favorite spirit.

These bullet-embedded glasses aren't the only unique firearm-inspired piece of glassware by the company. The brand also makes a slanted version of its bullet shot glass, as well as a larger 7.5 ounce tumbler version for those looking for a bigger drinking vessel.
Trend Themes
1. Firearm-inspired Glassware - Opportunity for custom-made glassware with unique designs that reflect firearms and weaponry themes.
2. Bullet-embedded Home Decor - Integration of bullets as unique home decor elements may appeal to a rising demand for personalized and unconventional housewares and accessories.
3. Safe Drinking Products - Creation of unique drinkware with non-toxic elements such as bullet-embedded cups as novelty items for those who enjoy unique novelty products.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Opportunities exist for manufacturers that may produce and market unconventional housewares and accessories that feature dangerous concepts such as firearms.
2. Drinkware Manufacturing - There is potential in the production of drinkware with unique designs that incorporate a variety of harmful weapons or other unconventional materials.
3. Gifts and Novelty Items - The rise in demand for unique novelty products presents an opportunity for manufactures to create drinking products and other unconventional accessories.
