Fred UNZIPPED Glass Bag Bowl

Fred UNZIPPED is a snack bowl doing a very convincing impression of a disposable zipper bag. The crinkles, folds, and open top are all hand-blown borosilicate glass, so that apparently abandoned bag of candy is actually the serving dish. It’s a good little visual joke for a desk or countertop, especially if your decorating style leaves room for objects that make people look twice.

The useful detail is the flat base: this bag stands up on its own. It holds up to 25 ounces, with clear sides that keep the candy, nuts, or crackers visible. At approximately 5 x 5 x 6 inches, it gives small snacks a dedicated home without making the bowl the main event on your table.

It looks like something you can crumple, but you absolutely need to treat it like glass. That makes it better suited to a settled spot than anywhere it’ll get knocked around. For a housewarming gift with a slightly silly streak, the sturdy, full-color gift box is a nice finishing touch.
