Hammered Mottled Glass Tumbler 8.9 cm Rim 10.5 cm Tall 400 g Grey Brown Bar Cup

Hammered Mottled Glass Tumbler 8.9 cm Rim 10.5 cm Tall 400 g Grey Brown Bar Cup is a glass tumbler built around a straight wall with a heavy flat base in grey brown mottled tones, with hammered dimpled surface across the full body. It is produced in our glass workshop for buyers who need a repeatable decorative programme rather than a one off sample, and the piece shown here carries the grey brown mottled tones with a hammered surface that hides wear and reads hand made.

Because the surface is moulded rather than etched, the texture stays consistent through commercial washing cycles, which is why hotels specify it for high turnover outlets. Every unit is annealed in a controlled lehr so that wall stress stays within our breakage specification, and dimensions are checked against the measurement sheet printed on the photography. The result is a glass that looks individual on the shelf but behaves predictably in a container load.

• Hammered Surface: The dimpled wall scatters reflections and masks fingerprints and light scuffs in heavy service.
• Mottled Grey Brown: Colour varies naturally across the surface, so individual glasses look hand finished rather than machine identical.
• 400 g Pressed Body: A 400 g body with an 8.9 cm base is stable enough for tray service in busy rooms.
• Straight Cylinder: A rim and base of the same diameter gives a clean silhouette that stacks predictably in racks.
• Wide Service Use: The 10.5 cm height works for water, iced tea and spirit serves, so one glass covers several menus.
• Practical Care: The textured outside still cleans easily, and the smooth interior keeps flavours neutral.

This glass tumbler is aimed at hotel bars, restaurant water service, home bars and rustic style retail ranges. Buyers typically place it in a range that needs one recognisable decorative accent without moving to a full bespoke mould, and because the body is a standard production shape the tooling cost is already absorbed into the piece price.

In service the glass is expected to move between back of house washing and front of house display several times a day. The surface withstands standard commercial detergents, and the rim geometry has been kept simple so that stacking and racking do not put point loads on the lip. For retail programmes the same item can be boxed as a single unit or combined with the matching pieces in our range to build a story around colour and pattern.

Sampling buyers usually test three things: whether the decoration survives twenty dishwasher cycles, whether the base sits flat on a granite or marble surface, and whether case pack dimensions match their pallet plan. All three can be confirmed with a stock sample before any production deposit is placed.

Each piece is packed in a moulded pulp or corrugated divider inside a five layer export carton, with a printed sleeve available for retail programmes. Case pack quantities are set so that a full pallet loads without void fill, which keeps freight cost per unit down for mixed container orders.

Production is inspected at three points: incoming glass quality, decoration placement, and final packing. AQL inspection follows the usual 2.5 major and 4.0 minor plan unless a buyer specifies otherwise, and we keep a retained sample from each run so that repeat orders can be matched for colour and pattern density.

Hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended where a decorative surface is present, and dishwasher use is acceptable on a normal cycle at moderate temperature. Avoid sudden temperature change such as pouring boiling liquid into a chilled glass, since thermal shock remains the most common cause of breakage in any annealed glassware. Stored correctly, the piece is designed for years of daily use.
