Know before you buy
The signature blue drop is an integral part of the glass design. It is mouth-blown into the stem by Swedish artisans, ensuring it remains a permanent, protected feature of the crystal.
Yes, the Intermezzo Blue Bouquet is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the clarity and brilliance of the crystal over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle or hand washing.
The generous 20 oz bowl is specifically shaped to provide ample surface area for aeration, making it ideal for full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. The design also works beautifully for sophisticated, large-format cocktails.
At 8.625 inches tall with a 20 oz capacity, this is a substantial, statement-making glass. It is larger than a standard white wine glass, designed to provide the room necessary for complex red wines to breathe.
While the glass is crafted from fine crystal, it is designed for both display and enjoyment. It is durable enough for regular use, though it should be handled with the care typically afforded to high-quality mouth-blown stemware.
