Abstract
According to one embodiment, an apparatus for holding may include a plurality of ware keepers for receiving glassware. Each ware keeper may include a retention body comprising a wire coil circumscribing a glassware receiving volume. A lower-most winding of the wire coil forms a ware stop in the retention body. The retention body may include a spacer coil extending from the retention body below the ware stop. A base frame may include a plurality of apertures extending through the base frame. Each of the plurality of ware keepers may be positioned in a corresponding aperture in the base frame such that the retention body of each ware keeper is above a top surface of the base frame and the spacer coil of each ware keeper is below a bottom surface of the base frame.
