Nested Klein Bottles

From The Blog of Scott Hansen: "This is one of a series of glass Klein bottles made by Alan Bennett. It consists of three Klein bottles, one inside another. A Klein bottle is a surface which has no edges, no outside or inside and cannot properly be constructed in three dimensions. In the series Alan Bennett made Klein bottles analogous to Möbius strips with odd numbers of twists greater than one. The three Klein bottles... produce, when cut, three pairs of single-twist Möbius strips."

Nicely built. A master of lab glassware built this.
