Take Out Ornament

Folded carton, a little wire handle, steam lines rising off the top — the Take Out Ornament renders a familiar order in blown glass, down to the last curl of steam. It begins as hand-shaped glass, gets its color entirely by hand afterward, then a slim metal loop finishes the piece, sized to sit comfortably among a full tree without disappearing into it.

The take-out container has become the symbol of a life lived on entirely reasonable terms, one where cooking happens sometimes and does not happen other times, and the difference no longer requires an apology or a long internal negotiation.
