Shran uses a set from a Finnish designer, called “Ultima Thule”. It’s also featured as a world on the show, iirc. (I’m midway through rewatch, but Ultima Thule is definitely a world in the ST universe.)

The name come from ancient times, meaning roughly “Ultimate North”, and referring to various places that no-one can really agree on.

Anyways, the other glass is also Finnish, and also used in ST: Enterprise. Whenever Archer has dinner in his quarters or they’re having cake at Malcolm’s bday, therr these glasses are: https://star-trek.design/glassware/tapio-goblets-by-tapio-wirkkala-for-iittala

(I wonder if this is related to my alcoholism flaring up anytime the episodes with the glasses come up.)

    That’s not the exact same glass btw. (So as not to manipulate how you perceive Shran’s size.)

    It’s just the same series. The one in the picture is like for cognac etc, but the one Shran is using is more like, beer sized.

    But I have actual beer glasses from that series, and they have a stem.

    Like ite definitely the same series of glasses, I just don’t know what glass it specifically is.

    I had like champagne flutes of this series as well, but I sold them because I needed money and no-one ever visits me anyway, so they’d have just been sitting on the shelves, taunting me.

    I saved this cognac glass and like a dozen of these beer pints.
