Caterpillar Rippled Glass Tumbler 300ml by Flux Home
Preorder - ETA up to 10 working days
Some glasses are purely functional. This one asks for a second look.
The Caterpillar Tumbler takes an ordinary drinking glass and gives it a rippled, segmented profile that catches light differently depending on where it sits. The undulating exterior is where the name comes from, and it does more than look good. Those ridges give your fingers something to hold, so the glass stays steady in the hand whether it is filled with iced matcha, cold brew or plain water.
It is made from borosilicate glass, the same material used in laboratory and stovetop glassware. That means it handles temperature without complaint, so a flat white in the morning and an iced tea in the afternoon are equally at home in it. At 300ml it sits in the sweet spot between a short tumbler and a full-size latte glass, and the narrow 7.5cm footprint means it fits comfortably on a bedside table, a crowded bench corner or a bathroom shelf. It is one of the easiest wins in our kitchen collection.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. It will handle a standard cycle, though the top rack is kindest to it over the long run and helps keep the glass clear rather than cloudy.
Can I use it for hot drinks?
Yes. Borosilicate is engineered to cope with heat, which is what makes it a genuine year-round glass rather than a summer-only one. Pour tea, coffee and hot chocolate into it with confidence.
Is it sold as a single glass or a set?
Each tumbler is sold individually. That makes it simple to buy two to start with and add to the set later, or to mix it with other glass shapes for a table that looks collected rather than bought all at once.
It is a genuinely useful thing to keep on hand. It works as a small thank you, a flatting gift, a stocking filler or a housewarming add-on, and it slots neatly into a hamper alongside good coffee beans or a bag of loose leaf tea. Buy a pair, wrap them with a tin of something nice, and you have a considered gift. For more ideas in the same range, our under $25 edit is a good place to start, and the gifts for the foodie collection pairs it with pantry pieces beautifully. Why You'll Love It
- Rippled, segmented profile that adds texture to a plain shelf
- Borosilicate glass, so hot and cold drinks are both fine
- Ridged exterior gives a secure, comfortable grip
- 300ml is generous enough for coffee, small enough to feel neat
- Dishwasher safe and built for daily use
- Priced so you can build a set without thinking twice Styling the Shelf
Open shelving is where this glass earns its keep. Line up four or six in a row and the repeated ripples read as texture rather than clutter, particularly against pale timber or a plastered wall. Keep the surrounding palette quiet so the glass does the work.
On a table, mix it with a smoother shape for contrast. Our Tom Tumbler in mouth-blown speckled glass is a natural partner, one textured and one flecked, both clear enough to sit together without competing.
For a bedside table, a single tumbler with a small carafe looks intentional in a way a mug never quite manages. And in a bathroom, it makes a surprisingly elegant holder for toothbrushes or cotton buds.
