The auction will be
hosted by the international art auction house
Sotheby’s, and followed by Bombay Sapphire cocktails served on
the
palace terrace
overlooking the magnificent gardens of the Colonna family residence.
The star attraction
at the auction will be the "Chalice" martini cocktail
glass,
donated by Australian glass artist Peter Crisp. Recreated from his
original
Bombay Sapphire inspired design from 2000, this stunning glass is the
world’s first
drinking vessel created by fusing precious stones onto glass, and
features 226 blue
sapphires. A truly unique collector’s item, the glass has been
valued
at US $25,000 by the artist.
Crisp says, "It’s wonderful to
see
just how much Bombay Sapphire has inspired the design world over the
last two decades and I would personally like to thank Bombay Sapphire
and everyone else
involved in this project who has given their time and energy to making
it a
success."
