Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 764.9 Hz, 43 cents flat of G5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A reusable steel bottle closes with a screw cap. The cap's thread is a ramp wrapped around a cylinder, so turning it pulls it down tight.
This bottle is made from a detailed 3D model of a real one. Tap it and the cap spins off in two turns and hops aside, the bottle tips and a stream of water glugs into the glass, then it all runs back and the cap screws on. The glug comes from air: bubbles have to push back into the bottle to take the place of the water that leaves.
