Rialto Glass Old Fashioned/Thistle, Set of 2
Best artisanal glassware for design-conscious hosts serving spirits.
Inspired by the iconic arches of Venice's most famous bridge, the Rialto Glass Old Fashioned set brings bespoke Italian design to your home bar. This set of two glasses is ideal for serving a dram or your favorite spirit. Each piece is finished by hand in Turkey, requiring a multi-step artisan process. Due to this unique craftsmanship, no two glasses are exactly alike, meaning subtle variations in color depth and cutwork are inherent and should be embraced. Available in a wide array of opaque and translucent colors, this glassware collection offers distinctive shapes for various beverages.
