Beautifully Shaped Crystal Glasses with Fine Silver Rim - English Understatement at Its Best 



How would an English gentleman enjoy his evening drink?
Surely in a dinner jacket and preferably in one of these fine whisky glasses with a silver rim. For these exquisite crystal glasses are English understatement at its finest.

The classic shape and delicate silver rim present themselves with masterful unpretentiousness.
Yet, given the fine materials, enjoyment with these drinking glasses is nothing short of a celebration.

The body is made of fine crystal glass. The rim is adorned with fine silver (1000 silver = pure silver), and thus pure precious metal. The crystal glasses offer a pleasant feel and stand for class and quality.

As masters of understatement, these beautifully shaped drinking vessels are the ideal companion for fine tableware of any kind.

Crystal water glasses, slender juice glasses, and rounded whisky tumblers are available to choose from.

Purely a matter of shape: Whisky tumbler or crystal water glass?



A well-stocked bar contains both tall, slender and squat, rounded glass variants.
This is because special drinks require special glass shapes.

Water, juices, and sparkling soft drinks harmonize with slender, conical glasses. The narrow vessels retain carbonation better.

They also allow you to enjoy refreshing drinks in the garden or outdoors. Here they protect against leaves and insects.

Rounded whisky glasses, on the other hand, are suitable for all drinks enjoyed "on the rocks", because they have an ideal capacity for ice cubes.

Connoisseurs and enthusiasts appreciate the rounded shape of the whisky tumbler. It brings out the aromas better and presents the trained eye with the characteristic color nuances of the fine drops. 



Shape theory for advanced users: What do ideal gin and tonic glasses look like?



Lovers of the spicy, effervescent drink know: Gin and tonic is a long drink and therefore belongs in a tall, slender glass. Gin and tonic glasses should thus have a high volume.

As is well known, gin and tonic also contains ice cubes. So those who love it particularly icy often prefer whisky glasses. They offer more room for the cooling component.

In Spain and Portugal, it is customary to enhance the gin and tonic with spices, so-called botanicals. Here the bartender reaches for the rounded copa glass.

Conclusion: Whether slender or rounded, a bar needs both vessel shapes.

But it looks best when the different glass variants are presented in the same design.
