Premium Gift Box Set of 2 Mid-Century Stemless Cocktail Glasses, first released in 1949 and representing a new post-war aesthetic of multi-functional, utilitarian pieces.
The hand-blown design won the gold medal in the 1954 Milan Triennale and has become the standard for elegant, enduring barware design
Scandinavian design is characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty; these glasses have a beautiful look, but still have a nice heavy base for stability, in fact, the entire glass feels durable and hard to break
The thick, heavy base keeps the glass from tipping. They're easy to pick up, hold, and put down, feel good in the hand; they look terrific and are even dishwasher safe.
Very clean lines, with a shape designed to keep drinks cooler longer. The base is more slender than some of the others; the narrow bowl makes it comfortable to drink from.
Dimensions for superior functionality: Top: 4-inches; Bottom: 1 3/4-inches; Height: 3 1/2-inches; Volume Capacity: 7 3/4-ounces
A Sculptural Masterpiece.
A new approach to design emerged in the 1950s, a combination of beauty, simplicity, and functionality, an aesthetic trend born in the northern countries. Scandinavia set the trend for mid-century glass design, a trend that remains to this day.
The stunning design of the essential Scandinavian Cocktail Glass is a fusion of simple shape – a cone and a cylinder – to create a geometric and sculptural masterpiece. The usual stem is replaced with a rounded base of solid glass, so easy-to-cradle.
Beautiful, strong, and resilient, the sophisticated form harmonizes with both traditional and modern settings, versatile enough for straight-up cocktails or desserts
