Spiral Stem Martini Glass 18 cm Tall 204 g Clear Conical Bowl

Spiral Stem Martini Glass 18 cm Tall 204 g Clear Conical Bowl is a cocktail glass built around a wide conical bowl on an S shaped spiral stem over an 8 cm foot in clear, uncoloured, with spiral twist confined to the stem. 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 wide cone on a spiral stem, with all the decoration kept below the bowl.

Shaped stems need a wider carton cavity than straight stems, so case pack dimensions change even though the glass height does not. 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.

• Spiral Stem: An S twist in the stem is the visual hook and gives staff a defined grip point.
• 12 cm Cone: A genuine martini width, which matters for aromatised and stirred cocktails.
• Clear Bowl: No decoration in the bowl, so the drink is the visual focus.
• 18 cm Height: Lower than a classic martini glass, which makes it easier to carry on a tray.
• 204 g Weight: Solid for the height, with an 8 cm foot for stability.
• Simple Rack: The straight cone fits standard racks despite the shaped stem.

This cocktail glass is aimed at cocktail bars, martini service, event hire and retail. 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.
