Glassware as Display and Tool

A displayed set of glassware. A dedicated section above the bar or in the back cabinet for glasses: old fashioned glasses, cocktail glasses, highball glasses, Japanese Kiriko glasses, arranged in groups by shape, either upright or hanging upside down on brass rails; they are illuminated by light from below or the side, creating a thin reflective edge. Each type of drink has a designated glass type, and the act of retrieving a glass is part of the service. Avoid: storing glasses in invisible cabinets, using the same glass type for all drinks, stacking glassware without order, using top lighting that reflects chaotic light.

一組被展示的玻璃器皿。吧台上方或背櫃的一段專門放杯子:古典杯、雞尾酒杯、高球杯、日式切子杯,依形狀排列成幾組,杯口朝上或倒掛在黃銅軌上;它們被下方或側面的光打到,邊緣形成一圈細細的反光。每一種酒有指定的杯型,取杯的動作是服務的一部分。避免:把杯子收在看不見的櫃子裡、使用同一種杯型應付所有酒、讓杯具堆疊沒有秩序、使用會反射雜亂光線的頂部照明。
