Gotta love these. Made by French sculptor Etienne Meneau, each one can hold a full bottle of wine. Fetching up to €2,200, these brilliant works of art will not be available in your local supermarket any time soon.

Not the most practical item you could spend a few grand on, but they are a luxury commodity for those with a fat wallet. I mean, could you bring a better conversation starter to the table?

Like veins pumping blood through your body.

No, this is not a shaky shot.

My favourite – if anyone has a spare €1000 and doesn’t know what to get me for Christmas. Genuinely very classy.

Numbers are very limited. For more information and pictures, check out the strange carafes blog here.
