Misa Flamingo Tumbler - Clear

This clear glass tumbler hides a small surprise: a little glass flamingo stands on a slender stem rising from the base, so the bird appears to wade in whatever you pour. The tumbler is mouthblown in 100% glass, with a rounded, stemless body that swells gently and narrows a touch towards the rim, resting on a thick, clear base. It is 9cm across and 12cm tall and holds 560ml, which makes it a generous everyday glass rather than a small juice tumbler, with room for a long drink of water or a tall glass of iced tea. At 0.22KG it is a light glass in the hand.

It is food safe, so it belongs on the table every day: put one at each place for a summer lunch, fill it with lemonade in the garden, or keep it on the bedside table for water through the night. A stemless glass suits relaxed meals and easy evenings, and the flamingo gives anyone who loves a little fun at the table a reason to smile with every sip. It makes a cheerful gift for a friend fond of flamingos, and between uses it looks just as good on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser as it does at the table.

The glass is mouthblown, shaped by breath rather than pressed in a mould, and the flamingo is glass too, so the whole piece is 100% glass. It is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand. It is not microwave safe or oven safe either, so keep it well clear of both. Clear glass shows off the colour of whatever fills it. Mix it in with plain tumblers of a similar size so the flamingo becomes the little surprise at one place setting, or stand a few along a sunny windowsill where the light runs through the glass and catches the bird.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. The maker states it is not dishwasher safe, so wash it by hand after use to keep the glass and the little flamingo in good order.

How much does it hold?

It holds 560ml, a generous amount for water, juice or a long cold drink, and it is 12cm tall and 9cm across.

Is the flamingo inside the glass?

Yes. A small glass flamingo stands on a slender stem rising from the base inside the tumbler, so it stands in your drink as you pour.

Can I use it in the microwave or the oven?

No. The maker states it is neither microwave safe nor oven safe, so it should not go in either appliance at any time.

Is it food safe?

Yes. It is food safe, so it is suitable for everyday drinks such as water, juice and lemonade at the table.

What material is it?

It is made of 100% glass and is mouthblown, and the little flamingo inside is glass as well.
