Recalls to a decrepit mind the story that Napoleon had the modern champagne glass designed/shaped based upon Marie Antoinette’s (left) breast. This is now disputed in various ways, many settling on the narrative that she did indeed have a mold taken but they ended up not as champagne glasses (which pre-existed Ms Antoinette) but for other obscure purposes, like some sort of sexy milkmaid show…? Anyway, it’ll never be definitively resolved, one presumes.
