Essence Glass Series - Red Wine Glass Set of 2. Alfredo Häberli designed this glass series for the Finnish tableware manufacturer iittala with the intention that they should create an appealing and balanced ensemble on the table. The usual "up" and "down" variations in the height of glasses, which can appear messy, should not disrupt an elegantly set table. Therefore, Alfredo Häberli made the bases and stems of the glasses the same length. Even the proportions of the bowls are similar: the red wine glass has a consistently wider diameter than the white wine glass, which Häberli designed to be only slightly wider than the typical champagne flute. All Essence glasses from iittala are dishwasher safe and can be securely held due to their flat, slightly rounded glass shape. And in a set of 2, the Essence red wine glass from iittala (45 cl) is perfect for enjoying a fine drop of wine on any occasion, not just with meals.
