    Trying to design a TeKu glass as a special favor for a friend, any ideas? I’ve come across a few alternatives, but nothing specializing in TeKu; feel like this should be easy since everyone is under the impression that TeKu is “sexy” glassware. Anyways, this is not a debate forum; not looking for Snifter, Tulip, Goblet, etc. Nonetheless, I’m open to sarcastic replies

    …TeKu is “sexy” glassware

    What do you mean by design a glass? Do you want ideas for decorations? Like etching, paint or so forth, or actually designing a glass?

    I am too not sure what you're doing or what you're asking.

    Your best bet is to talk to a local trophy store or etching specialist and bring them a couple glasses. It's not going to be cheap because on-off projects aren't the most cost effective use of the shops time, but if you can make the design a vector graphic using something like Adobe Illustrator or simply just use text, it may alleviate the cost. You can pick up blank tekus from a few sites:

    mini teku 250ml(scroll down to the bottom). These guys are the importers of the glassware:

    regular teku 300ml

    Customizing Tekus is tricky work compared to a lot of glassware, which is why you only ever really see 1 colored prints or foil on them, from my experience/ from what I've heard from vendors.
