Italiano term

picûre

Da Italiano a Inglese Marketing Marketing/Ricerche di mercato brochure
This appears to be a French term in an Italian translation. I checked on Google and the iamges provided are both referring to pictures or sea life. Since the product described in the brochures looks like a fish, I am confused.

Here is the sentence: Una nuova collezione di calici in cristallino dalle linee aggressive con profili squadrati e una profonda picûre.

Can anyone help?

picûre or piqûre It may be possible the word you are looking for has been misspelt. I think it should be spelt with a 'q' instead of a 'c'.

BUT...I am just guessing, thought it might help. 8-)

deep punt

With some help from my French speaking girlfriend, I think this means 'deep punt' referring to the indent of the glass. This is something you would find in wine bottles, i.e. the indentation on the underside of the bottle or glass.

punt

Sometimes the French word seems to be used in English too - without the accent (typical!)
Example sentence:

A punt, also known as a kick-up, refers to the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle.
