Customers consistently praise the exquisite design and superior quality of the Duo Old Fashion by Sugahara. Its unique aesthetic, often described as elegant and sophisticated, makes it a standout piece for any occasion.

While some acknowledge its higher price point, the consensus suggests that its artistic appeal and durable construction justify the investment, making it a cherished item for those who appreciate fine glassware.
Know before you buy
Because each piece is mouth-blown by artisans, you should expect subtle variations in the color tone and shape. No two glasses are exactly alike, which is a hallmark of Sugahara’s handcrafted process.
Hand washing is strongly preferred. The delicate nature of mouth-blown glass means it is best to avoid the high heat and abrasive detergents of a dishwasher to maintain its finish.
The glass holds 7.8 ounces. This makes it well-suited for a standard pour of spirits or a classic cocktail served over a large ice cube.
At 3.25 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter, it sits comfortably in the hand and aligns with the dimensions of a traditional, compact old-fashioned glass.
As a mouth-blown piece, it features a refined, balanced weight that feels substantial without being overly heavy, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship typical of Sugahara Glasswork.
