Know before you buy
The generous balloon shape is specifically designed for complex wines that need room to breathe. It performs exceptionally well with aromatic reds like Pinot Noir and full-bodied whites like oaked Chardonnay.
Yes, the glass is designed to be dishwasher safe. However, due to its large 5.2-inch diameter, ensure your dishwasher rack has enough clearance to prevent the glass from knocking against other items during the cycle.
This glass was developed in collaboration with three-star Michelin chef Björn Frantzén to prioritize oxygenation. Its large capacity and specific curvature are engineered to unlock nuanced aromas that smaller, standard glasses often suppress.
At 9.25 inches tall and 5.2 inches wide, this is a substantial piece of stemware. We recommend measuring your cabinet shelves to ensure you have enough vertical and horizontal clearance for the wide bowl.
While handmade glass often features thinner, more elegant walls, this piece is crafted to meet high professional standards. It balances the delicate aesthetic of artisanal glass with the durability required for frequent use in both home and restaurant settings.
