传统捷克水晶制作的酒杯通过在表面上做出各式各样的切口纹路来装饰。杯子底部和杯颈上的这些切口让人想起海狸建造小屋时留在树上的痕迹。一只长着尖牙的海狸能够快速地围绕着树木向内啃食，不断地啃下树干碎片直到大树快要倾倒。beaver玻璃杯设计仿照这种模式，随机从厚厚的玻璃杯底部上将碎片切割下来，形成杯身轮廓。

Traditional Czech crystal is decorated by making various cuts into the surface. These cuts in the base and stems of the glasses are reminiscent of the marks left in trees as a beaver builds its lodge. A beaver with its sharp teeth will quickly chip away at a tree trunk, winding its way inwards around the tree until it is ready to fall. Emulating this process, the silhouette of the glasses was created by randomly slicing off pieces from the thick base.

常规的玻璃器皿制作模式是将杯颈和杯子基座粘结到玻璃底上，beaver的设计方法与常规模式截然不同，杯子仿佛是一棵即将倒下的树木，形成了一种紧迫感。拥有随机切割纹路的玻璃杯产生复杂的光线反射，闪烁着水晶所特有的微光；玻璃器皿这种深度打磨和复杂抛光工艺的难度非常大，只有技艺精湛的玻璃工匠才能胜任。

This is a significant diversion from the normal method of adhering the stem and pedestal to the base of the glass, which has resulted in a design with a sense of tension like a tree that is about to fall down.The randomly cut glass causes complicated light reflections, creating a glimmer that is unique to crystal; such deep abrasion and the intricate polishing of the glassware are extremely difficult to achieve and was only made possible by the hands of a highly skilled glass artisan.
