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."
