Tulip Ribbed Clear Glass Tumbler 7.2 cm Rim 12.5 cm Tall 165 g Slim Drink Cup

Tulip Ribbed Clear Glass Tumbler 7.2 cm Rim 12.5 cm Tall 165 g Slim Drink Cup is a glass tumbler built around a tulip silhouette, flaring rim over a narrow waist and small foot in clear and colourless, with fine vertical ribbing. 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 a slim tulip shaped tumbler with fine ribbing, light enough for high volume service.

Because the base is small, staff should carry this glass from the body rather than the foot, and racking should be checked before large orders are placed. 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.

• Tulip Silhouette: The flare at the rim opens the aroma while the narrow waist keeps the glass comfortable to hold.
• 165 g Light Body: The lightest shape in the range, which cuts freight and replacement cost.
• Fine Ribbing: Delicate vertical ribs add grip and refract light without visual weight.
• 12.5 cm Height: Tall enough for long drinks and spritz serves without looking oversized.
• Small 4 cm Foot: Compact base allows dense tray loading during service peaks.
• Pressed Strength: Despite the low weight, pressing keeps the wall uniform so chipping stays predictable.

This glass tumbler is aimed at restaurants, hotel bars, event hire companies and cafe groups. 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.
