The Ballerina Crystal Tasting Glass embodies the idea of “enjoying the lightness of life on tiptoe.” Designed in collaboration with sommeliers, its elegant bowl is shaped to enhance the aromas and flavors of every beverage, putting the joy of drinking in the foreground. The short stem adds a touch of practicality, making it ideal for outdoor settings and communal dining, while maintaining an air of effortless sophistication. Great for beer, water, and cocktails, it is a testament to the harmony of form and function.

Founded in 1823, Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal. Their signature mousseline crystal, celebrated for its incredible thinness and strength, allows light to pass through in a way that feels almost weightless, creating an interplay of illumination often described as “living light.” Through six generations, Lobmeyr has built a legacy of collaboration with designers and architects, crafting pieces that transcend mere objects to become experiences of clarity, precision, and subtle sophistication.

Lobmeyr has become synonymous with the artistry of crystal, celebrated for its signature mousseline crystal—incredibly thin, between 0.7 and 1.1 mm, yet remarkably strong. This unique quality allows light to pass through in a way that feels almost weightless, creating an interplay of illumination often described as “living light.” Each piece radiates a quiet brilliance, transforming crystal into an experience of clarity, precision, and subtle sophistication.
