PCT No. PCT/GB93/02181 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 18, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 18, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/08909 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 28, 1994The invention relates to a method of forming a goblet from a glass bottle of the type having a base, a body portion extending from the base and converging towards a neck which terminates in a lip defining a mouth. The method comprises the steps of severing the base from the body portion along a first severance plane which is proximate the base and normal to a central axis of the bottle, and removing a waste portion of the body along a second severance plane which is parallel to the first severance plane. The mouth of the bottle is then glued or fused to a center portion of an upper surface of the base so as to form the goblet, with the base of the bottle forming a foot of the goblet, the neck of the bottle forming a stem of the goblet and the body portion of the bottle defining a bowl of the goblet. The method may include the step of plugging the neck of the bottle so as to form a solid stem. |
