Luigi Bormioli Crescendo 20-Ounce Tumblers, Set of 4
Cool down after a hot summer day with a refreshing mint julep, a Long Island iced tea, or a simple glass of water served out of a tall 20-1/2-ounce tumbler from this Luigi Bormioli four-glass set from their Crescendo glassware collection. In music, the word “Crescendo” indicates the gradual increase of volume up to the movement’s apex; the Crescendo glasses follows a similar trajectory as it rises above comparable drinkware with increased brilliance and strength. Made at Luigi Bormioli’s headquarters in Parma, Italy, each sleek tumbler sits on a thick lucid foundation that curves with grace at the bowl's base. The tall tumbler's sides continue this slight rounding up along its body until reaching the wide mouth, circled by a thin, minutely inward turned rim.The Crescendo tall tumbler set embodies the qualities that established Parma as one of the world’s greatest hotbeds for artisan glassworks with hand-blown glass and the purest sands and natural, raw materials. The set also augments the traditional with modern innovation with its lead-free crystalline SON.Hyx glass construction, first unveiled by Luigi Bormioli in 2007. SON.Hyx’s clarity in both sonority and transparency rivals crystal, and actually surpasses the industry darling with great strides in the glassware's chip-and-crack resilience. Dishwasher-safe, the tall tumblers resist staining and dulling to sustain their original sparkling lucidity after 400 wash cycles. A 25-year guarantee protects the set from such discoloration and any chips incurred under normal use. Luigi Bormioli offers a variety of Crescendo drinkware to complement these glasses. Each glass measures 7 by 7 by 8-1/2 inches. The full set weighs 1 pound upon shipping.
