half full, half empty, you need a different glass, etc.
finally a way to make the glass look full regardless of what is going on. observing the glass from directly above, the gradient refractive index of the glass (or polymer) that the glass is made from causes it to look like it is full of water.
Vehemently optimistic.
Pretty screwy...

Is this a proposal for a special type of glass? Or an observation on existing glasses? |

I should also mention, perhaps, that a glass filled with water is a great disappointment, unless you have a goldfish. |

Wedgwood. |

Actually Spode do some very elegant goldfish serving bowls. |

If the interior if the glass were mirrored and shaped like two concave dishes with a hole in the top of one then the glass would always appear full without a lens cover.
