Lumiere, French for "light," epitomizes the delicacy and brilliance of hand-blown, full-lead crystal. Adorned with Versace's iconic Medusa head, each sparkling tumbler or stem in the collection makes a perfect accompaniment to Medusa porcelain dinnerware. The two Lumiere Clear whiskey glasses in this set are designed especially for sipping a fine single malt Scotch or a sparkling bourbon-and-soda on the rocks. Measuring 3-1/2 inches tall and holding 5-3/4 ounces, each octagonal-sided tumbler feels secure in the hand and luxuriously weighted, thanks to the dense base in which lies the Medusa image of Greek--and Versace--mythology.
Ever since Versace, Italy's provocative house of haute couture, and Rosenthal, one of Germany's most prestigious porcelain companies, teamed up in 1993, the resulting dinnerware and gift collections have made spectacular waves. Classical and wildly imaginative themes leap to life with uninhibited combinations of color and line. Also available in a colored version, each Medusa Lumiere set comes secured in a Versace gift box, sure to both delight and impress the recipient. Like all fine crystal, the whiskey glasses should be washed carefully by hand. --Ann Bieri
