Corliss Cocktail Glasses Set of 4 - Grey

These cocktail glasses have a shape all their own: a wide, flared bowl tapers to a narrow waist, then swells into a short, full base, so each glass stands without a stem. You get four of them, each made entirely of glass in a translucent grey that softly tints whatever you pour. Every glass is 9.5cm across at the rim and 11cm tall, and holds 165ml. That is a proper cocktail measure rather than a wine glass pour, sized for a single serve finished with a garnish or a twist of peel.

Without a stem, they sit low on a dining table, a drinks trolley or a kitchen counter, and are easy to hand out at a dinner party or a relaxed evening with friends. They are made for drinks: a short cocktail, a chilled aperitif or a small measure of dessert wine, and they work just as well for a few spoonfuls of mousse or sorbet at the end of a meal. Four glasses suit a couple who like to entertain, or a small household that enjoys matching glassware on the table. Between occasions, they sit happily on an open shelf or in a cabinet with a glass door, where the grey catches the light.

The glasses are made of 100% glass. They are not for the dishwasher, so wash them by hand and dry them with a soft cloth. Nor are they for the microwave or the oven, so never use them for warming or heating anything. Glass itself is easy to keep fresh, as it does not take on smells or stains from the drinks served in it. For styling, set all four in a row on a linen runner beside a bowl of olives, or let a single glass hold a sprig of rosemary on a kitchen shelf, where its outline shows clearly against a plain wall.

How much does each glass hold?

Each glass holds 165ml, a cocktail size suited to a single short drink, an aperitif or a small measure of dessert wine.

How big are the glasses?

Each glass is 9.5cm across and 11cm tall, with a wide flared bowl that narrows into a short, full base instead of a stem.

Can the glasses go in the dishwasher?

No. They are not suitable for the dishwasher, so wash them by hand and dry them with a soft cloth.

Can I use them in the microwave or oven?

No. They are not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so keep them for serving drinks and never use them for heating.

How many glasses come in the set?

You receive four matching glasses, all made of 100% glass in the same grey, so a table of four is fully covered.

Can they be used for desserts as well as drinks?

Yes. They are approved for food, so a few spoonfuls of mousse, sorbet or a layered pudding look good in the grey glass.
