Product Description

Amazon.com

Handmade of mouth-blown full lead crystal, this martini glass is from Riedel’s top-of-the-line Sommeliers collection and is for those who take their drinking seriously. The glass is classically designed with the traditional cone-shaped bowl, which provides optimum blending of vermouth and gin (either shaken or stirred) and holds olives in place. With its taller-than-usual stem, the glass stands 7-1/8 inches high, making it even trickier to carry on a tray without spilling. This glass holds 7-3/8 ounces of wine and has a 4-inch-wide flared rim. --Cristina Vaamonde

These glasses are pricey. That they are hand blown rather than machine made is nice, but it also makes them extremely delicate. I have broken four already (one at a time). Unfortunately, if you seek a happy medium between a shallow martini glass that barely holds any liquid and the current trend of oversize martini glasses that hold 8 ounces or more of liquid (which is alcoholism-inducing), this is one of the very few glasses that is perfectly proportioned, with clean beautiful lines, and a nice weight-feel in the hand. The only other glass I've found about this size (a tad smaller)with beautiful lines and a very nice weight-feel in the hand is the Orrefors Intermezzo Blue Dot Martini glass. It's a couple of dollars less expensive than this Reidel and it actually feels slightly less delicate, although I've broken two of those as well over the past few months, so perhaps not. Beyond these two, you will probably need to get a smaller glass or one that is quite a bit larger. To my mind, though, these two glasses are the ones to beat. I collect martini glasses and own about 30 different styles. These two are my favorites, with the Riedel enjoying pride of place.

I've yet to find a finer looking cocktail glass. A friend who doesn't even like martinis asked me to make one for him after seeing one in this glass. It looks that clean and perfect.
