Description
This set of four cocktail glasses is made entirely of glass in a clear, glossy green. What makes them stand out is the shape: a wide, flared bowl tapers to a short neck and rests on a rounded ball of glass, so there is no tall stem. Each glass is 9.5cm across and 11cm tall and holds 165ml, which makes it a short cocktail glass rather than one for long drinks: the right size for a martini, a gimlet or a sour served without ice.
They belong wherever drinks are mixed and poured: on a drinks trolley in the living room, on the dining table at a dinner party, or on a tray carried out to the garden on a summer evening. Their low, compact shape sits neatly among bottles and shakers on a crowded drinks tray. The glass is approved for food as well as drink, so the set works just as nicely for a small serving of sorbet, a chocolate mousse or a prawn cocktail at the start of a meal. Between parties, four green glasses in a row look good on an open shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet, so they need not hide away in a cupboard.
The glasses are 100% glass, transparent and glossy, in a green that deepens where the glass is thickest, at the neck and in the rounded base. Coloured glass throws a soft tint of its colour wherever light passes through it, which makes a sunny table or a candlelit one all the prettier. They do not go in the dishwasher, so wash them by hand, and keep them out of the microwave and the oven. For a simple finishing touch, set them out with brass or gold bar tools and a bowl of lemons, or mix them with clear glassware on an open shelf so the green carries the look.

What material are the glasses?
