Abstract

Abstract A wire frame shelf with longitudinally displaced conically-shaped, coaxial, funnel holders with an elongated vertical front clearance space on each funnel holder. The funnel holder is larger in the upper portion to receive and embrace a tapered glassware device in the axially displaced circumferential opening. Thus, the opening provides the glassware device with horizontal support, vertical stability, and a convenient resting place for protuberance on the glassware device.
