Celebration lives up to its name by rejoicing in the purity of modern design. Each of the two crystal wine glasses in this set features a cleanly curved bowl atop a slender, elongated stem. What the eye immediately gravitates toward is the band of fine concentric rings cut around the lower portion of the bowl, providing an intriguing tactile sense to the fingertips. Generously proportioned at 19 ounces each, the two glasses are designed especially to give plenty of surface area to full-bodied red wines, such as Burgundy and Pinot Noir, in order for the bouquet to fully unfold.
Nachtmann, a renowned crystal manufacturer in Europe since 1834 and now a member of Riedel glassworks, is making great inroads into the American crystal market. A recent award-winner for its state-of-the-art technology, the company crafts the glasses in Bavaria of full-lead crystal for superb clarity and brilliance and covers them with a limited replacement guarantee. Like all fine crystal, the glasses retain their sparkle best when washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
Gorgeous elegance, with a contemporary flair, these Nachtmann Celebration crystal burgundy glasses come as a set of 2 and feature brilliance, clarity, and a design that is versatile enough for everyday use, yet perfect for dressing up the table. The bowls are primarily clear, with a series of lines near the base that graduate down to the bottom of the glass, reminiscent of rippling of water, or the visual image of vibration. The stems are elongated, giving these glasses a graceful shape. Nachtmann, brought to you by the Riedel Family, is a new name in crystal to many consumers in the US, yet well-know across the globe. The Nachtmann Company has been producing fine crystal for over 170 years, using traditional glass blowing methods, as well as state-of-the-art technology.
