Extraordinary basics.
Basic glasses will be used over and over again—so they should be sturdy and beautiful. Legendary barkeeper and author Charles Schumann (from Schumann's Bar in Munich) collaborated with renowned glassmaker Schott Zwiesel to develop a bar glass that combines a classical shape, contemporary dimensions, and superlative functionality.

Beautiful but insanely delicate
I fell in love with these, but thought better of buying them since the glass appeared to be so thin. My fiancé thought we should go for it anyways. They are truly beautiful, but as obsessively careful as we were with them, they began to chip or fully break one by one, starting the first week we bought them. We are now down to half after a little more than a month. It’s too bad. They’re modern and lovely, but I suppose I should’ve followed my instincts on these, especially given the price.
