Rocking Glass

I saw this glass years ago in a movie. And ever since I have been looking for it: it turns but never falls. Perfect to play with it.
I saw similar but never quite the design I was looking for. And then suddenly it popped up: The Rocking Glass by Normann-Copenhagen.
'Britt Bonnesen invented these cocktail glasses with thick, rounded bottoms after watching a film about old-time airplane travel and noticing how the dinner services were designed to compensate for the propeller plane's vibration. The tempered glass of this drinking set can hold both hot and cold liquids. No need to stir your drink; the rocking motion of the glasses will mix things up for you!'
Can be bought here, but they're not shipping to Europe... Trying to find an importer for Belgium...
