Description
This set of two wine glasses brings a dark brown tortoiseshell pattern to the dinner table, with patches that deepen to black scattered across clear glass. Each glass has a rounded balloon bowl that carries the pattern all the way to the rim, set on a long, slender clear stem and a flat round foot. Each one stands 21.5cm tall and measures 8cm across, a generous height that still sits comfortably beside a dinner plate. Because the whole piece is glass, light passes through the paler patches and makes the pattern glow, especially by candlelight or near a sunny window.
These glasses suit the dining room as well as the kitchen table, and they are at home on a drinks trolley or a sideboard between uses. Pour a favourite red or white wine and the clear patches let its colour show through, or set them out for an evening with friends when you want the table to feel a little special. The tortoiseshell look sits happily with warm wood, brass, linen and cream tableware, and it works just as well against a darker, moodier scheme. With two glasses together, the set is ready for a meal for two or for adding to the glassware you already own.
The pattern covers the bowl from base to rim, while the stem and foot stay clear, so each glass looks light and well balanced. To keep them bright, we suggest washing them gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying them straight away with a soft lint-free cloth, holding each one by the bowl rather than twisting the stem. Store them upright with a little space between them. As a gift, the pair makes a thoughtful present wrapped alongside a good bottle, and on your own table they bring a warm, patterned note to an everyday supper.
