damn, this is some stiff competition. well i'll throw in my entry #2 anyways.

j$'s sacrificial god pitcher

kind of bending the rules here. the intention for this is that we have so many mugs to drink out of, this would be a supporting piece. the mixologist could make a pitcher of the intended drink and pour it from this sacrificial/ceremonial vessel into the awaiting tiki mugs. although the sketch suggests a scale relative to the size of the hand, we would have to work with the actual overall size and capacity to make it feasible, so i have not dimensioned the design. the inspirations are twofold, the first is obviously the kahiki sacrificial god fireplace. the second source is midcentury coffee carafes, which were often made from lab beakers or at least bear the populuxe "hourglass" shape. the hope is that the shape of the pouring top would afford a good gripping surface even if it were covered with condensation from your frosty concoctions, and even if you had already mixed a couple rounds prior to now...
