To celebrate a special moment

Aperativo for Royal Leerdam Crystal 2009.
A series of glass dildo’s on a champagne glass stem,
to celebrate special moments.

Glass is the perfect hygienic material for this kind of objects therefore Richard Hutten designed a dildo on a stem of a drinking glass. As an object for inspiration, to get in to the mood rather than using it, which makes it more of an anti-dildo.

Yes, Art is to inspire and allow the imagination to soar –
Master is well-capable to take it from there.
