About this deal

One end is wider than the other and the horizontal fold lines in the middle are missing, being more like a curve. The company thought nothing of the purchase until the next year when Blade Runner was released and several scenes showed Ford’s Deckard drinking Johnny Walker Black out of the Double Old Fashioned Glass. So if you want to drink like a proper replicant like myself, go get yourself a vintage oval bottom JW Rocks Glass, instead of sweating for the pricy Cibis, which don’t really pair with the Director’s cut Johnnie Walker, or any real world JW Black or Double Black label whiskies (the original BR Johnnie Walker bottle does not exist commercially)! These days, his hours are spent mostly in proofing and editing, though he continues to create content for a wide variety of projects. Unless of course they are saying that of all the glasses they make the only make this model in black (for a limited time) in which case we're screwed.

Each glass is mouth blown and hand cut by artisans in Tuscany, to the original specifications and using the original moulds created in 1973.

Unfortunately they all leaked so the copies were used for set decoration only and simply became static props. These same glasses also make a star appearance in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities – The Viewing episode. Couple it with a bottle of Johnny Walker and you’ll be ready to head out on the hunt for some replicants. Yeah, I saw these this morning, that's what inspired me to start this thread :lol I think it looks spot on.The moody Blade Runner’s glass wasn’t just a prop, it was a hand-made crystal glass, mouth-blown by artisans at boutique Italian company, Arnolfo di Cambio. I have always been interested in people and their behaviour […] I like to get in tune with clients to find solutions and understand their needs and desires to try to provide them with the best possible”. Arnolfo di Cambio were supplying many props for the movie and Scott chose the square Cibi old fashioned glass specially for its unique design which has proved to be timeless. The Cibi 030101 Double Old Fashioned Glass was first produced by Italian glass makers Arnolfo di Cambio, and was designed by Italian designer Cini Boeri in 1973. The Blade Runner whisky glass is made from hand blown crystal glass by Arnolfo di Cambio, the original Italian company who has been making them since 1974.

It’s not about “attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion”, it’s about the prestigious Cibi collection dedicated to the emblematic crystal glass and much more. Scott selected the iconic CIBI glass to feature in the movie having been struck by its striking, futuristic design. The CIBI collection is characterized by the X-shaped body, which not only gives movement but also allows an easy and firm grip. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Fortunately-although first introduced in 1972-the glass chosen by Ridley Scott and his set dressers-the Cini Boeri-designed “Cibi” double old-fashion tumbler – is still produced to this day; a testament to its timelessness.

Until the glasses showed up in several scenes of the movie the next year, with Deckard sipping Johnny Walker Black out of the tumbler. Did you know, in 2017 Johnnie Walker released a strictly limited edition Black Label “The Director’s Cut” Whisky in the very unusual shaped bottle portrayed in Blade Runner? The following year the movie Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s visionary masterpiece, was released in cinemas. In the course of five decades and three generations they have become one of Italy’s leading glass manufacturers. Designed by Cini Boeri, made by Arnolfo di Cambio, and tried and tested (a little too frequently) by Film and Furniture.
