Description
This stemmed wine glass marks a 40th birthday in a way that is easy to spot across a busy table. A round silver badge sits on the front of the clear glass bowl, with a bold 40 at its centre and a fine ring of lettered detail framing it, so the milestone catches the light every time the glass is lifted. The bowl tapers gently towards the rim, the stem is long and slim, and a wide round foot keeps it steady. It stands 22.3cm tall and measures 9cm across at its widest, a comfortable size to hold by the stem.
We see it first in the hand of whoever is turning 40, raised for the toast at a birthday party, a family dinner or a quiet evening at home with friends. It makes a thoughtful birthday gift on its own, and even better tucked into a gift bag beside a favourite bottle of wine, so the present is ready to open and pour on the day. Once the candles are out, it is just as happy as a keepsake, set on a shelf, a dresser or in a glass cabinet where the silver badge can be seen, a reminder of the year long after the party.
The glass is clear throughout, and the round badge sits on the outside of the bowl, its silver tone the only colour on the piece. As good practice for glassware with applied decoration, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water, keep scouring pads away from the badge, and dry it with a soft lint-free cloth for a bright, streak-free finish. Holding it by the stem when pouring and polishing keeps fingerprints off the bowl. For the day itself, we like to give it with a handwritten note tucked inside the bowl and a bottle chosen with the birthday in mind.
