Jeray Original Products’ Pipe Sipping Glasses provided the spectacular accompaniment for a Sherlock Holmes themed dish that was presented on BBC’s Great British Menu (Tuesday February 22). The glasses – a similar shape to Sherlock Holmes’ iconic pipe – were used as a sauce boat for the fish dish created by Spencer Metzger, head chef at The Ritz, London.
The current series of the BBC2 show pays homage to a hundred years of the BBC, with meals designed around classic BBC programmes and broadcasts. Spencer Metzger’s Sherlock dish was part of the London and South East Starter and Fish Dish episode, which can be viewed along with other episodes in the 17th series on BBC iPlayer.
The set of Pipe Sipping Glasses by Jeray Original Products are made from borosilicate glass and were originally designed for sipping brandy. However, Paul Spencer, Jeray’s managing director reports: “The Sipping Glasses are on trend with cocktail bars including the Ritz for serving smoking drinks and desserts.” He adds: “Later this year we will be launching new whisky smokers.”
