Kink Vinegar Bottle
The Kink Vinegar Bottle is made using traditional glass blowing techniques. Working together as a synchronised team, glassblowers gather molten glass from the furnace on the end of a steel blow-pipe. The form is blown to the desired size using calipers to measure the length and width. The bottle is then transferred or ‘puntied’ to another steel rod to enable the lip of the bottle to be finished. Finally, the neck of the bottle is gently heated with a torch while constantly rotating – the kink is formed by gravity when the rotation stops.
The design and production process ensures that each piece is unique. The simple kink in the neck emphasises the function of the bottle as well as the material qualities of hand-blown glass – it also adds a sense of delight to the ergonomics of pouring.
Kink is a useful object with a bold sculptural presence.

Quite simply, nothing else looks like or pours like a Fink and Co Water Jug. Originally commissioned in 1993 as a limited release vessel for the opening of an elegant new restaurant in Canberra, the early prototype was refined and its manufacturing streamlined, allowing the potential of the jug as the quintessential Fink piece to be realised. The jug was issued as the vanguard for Robert Foster’s then fledgling design company Fink and Co, and to this day remains its signature piece.
