Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity of the glass and the integrity of the blue drop detail, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water.
The tumbler has a capacity of 40 cl, which is approximately 13.5 fluid ounces. This makes it an ideal size for a variety of mixed drinks, highballs, or even sparkling water.
The signature blue drop is a hallmark of Erika Lagerbielke’s design. It is mouth-blown into the stem by skilled artisans in Sweden using traditional glassmaking techniques, ensuring each piece is unique.
The tumbler stands 150 mm (5.9 inches) tall with a width and length of 75 mm. Its slender, elegant profile is designed to be comfortable to hold while serving as a statement piece on your bar cart.
While the Intermezzo is an award-winning design piece, it is crafted to be functional for home use. However, because it is mouth-blown glass, it requires careful handling and should be washed by hand to maintain its quality over time.
