Description
The Lilya cocktail glass is a coupe made entirely of glass, its wide, rounded bowl speckled all over in a multicoloured pattern and raised on a tall, slender stem with a round foot. It stands 18cm tall and measures 12cm across, and the bowl holds 295ml, a generous measure for a coupe with room for a classic cocktail, a glass of champagne or a long pour of something sparkling. At 0.244KG it is light in the hand, and the speckles run right up to the rim.
We would reach for it whenever a drink deserves a little ceremony: a birthday, a toast at New Year, friends round on a Friday evening, or a quiet negroni at the end of a long week. It suits anyone who likes glassware with some personality, and the multicoloured pattern looks at home on a dining table, a drinks trolley or a sideboard laid for a party. Because the bowl is wide and open, it also works for a small dessert, a scoop of sorbet or a handful of berries at the end of a meal, which makes it doubly useful for those who entertain often.
Glass does not take on the flavour or smell of whatever it holds, so tonight's gin sour leaves nothing behind for tomorrow's champagne. The maker says this glass should not go in the dishwasher, so wash it by hand, and it is not for the microwave or the oven either, so keep it for serving rather than heating. For styling, place it beside plain glassware so the speckled pattern catches the eye, or line up a few on a tray as a little drinks station for a party; the styling props shown are not included.
