Years of sea-going experience dictates that glasses travel best upside-down restrained [but not too tightly] by custom fiddles. Choose your preferred wine glass, in our case 8 oz, [Yes, we are p'heads] and tumbler and long Collins glasses and buy three times the number you need. Cut out the right size 'oles, and mount the 'oles about 30% of the inverted height of the most delicate glasses. [We went to a commercial caterers suppliers for 'strong' glasses about ten years ago and have most of them left] Saves making fancy stowages for glasses that break and can't be easily replaced, necessitating a new stowage job.





We have done the same for china mugs, our Pyrex plunger cafetierre and tea-pot, a stainless tea-pot rampaging round amongst your china can spoil the whole day!

Hope this helps,

Doug

Blimey, a cocktail shaker and one of those metal teapots beloved of 1960's teashops, where the tea went anywhere but in the cup. I've often wondered how they managed to sell so many of them to so many teashops when they were patently abysmal at performing their prime function.
