Big Top Set of 6 Highball Glasses 340 cc
Water glasses are the ones used most often and thought about least. Here you will find low tumblers, tall highballs for long drinks, and coordinated sets, in lead-free crystal robust enough for everyday table settings.
The measurements that matter
- Tumbler — low and wide: water at the table, juices, spirits.
- Highball — tall and narrow: gin and tonics, spritzes, non-alcoholic drinks with ice.
- Long drink — the larger capacity, when ice takes up half the glass.
- Coordinated sets — collections that also include wine glasses, for a fully coordinated table setting.
Why choose a designer water glass
Because it is the piece you touch ten times a day, and the difference between a thick and a thin glass is felt on the lip before it is noticed by the eye. It costs only slightly more than a supermarket glass and lasts for years if it is not mistreated in the dishwasher.
The rest of the table
On the same table, you will find wine glasses, carafes and decanters, and cocktail glasses. All the branded crystalware is in NUDE, and the complete range is in the home section.
Frequently asked questions
How many water glasses do you need at home?
Six is the minimum for a regular table setting, eight if you often entertain. It is worth buying them all from the same range: glasses break, and being able to add two matching ones in two years is more useful than it may seem.
What is the difference between a highball and a long drink glass?
It is mainly a matter of capacity and proportions: a highball is tall and narrow, while a long drink glass is slightly wider and more capacious. In practice, they are used for the same drinks, and the choice depends on how much ice is added.
Can they be used for hot drinks?
No, not with tea or coffee: lead-free crystal is not designed to withstand thermal shock. For hot drinks, you need borosilicate glass, clearly labelled as such.
Does a thin glass break more easily?
Not in normal use. It breaks when it knocks against another piece in the dishwasher or is set down suddenly on a stone surface. When hand-washed, with a rack or mat in the sink, it lasts as long as a thick one.
