Essence Glass Series – Water Glass Set of 2. Alfredo Häberli designed this glass series for the Finnish tableware manufacturer iittala with the intention that they create an appealing and balanced ensemble on the table. The usual "ups" and "downs" in the height of the glasses, which can appear messy, should not disrupt an elegantly set table. Therefore, Alfredo Häberli made the bases and stems of the glasses the same length. Even the proportions of the bowls are similar: the red wine glass is consistently wider in diameter than the white wine glass, which Häberli designed to be just slightly wider than the typical champagne flute. The only exceptions are the small sherry glass and the water glass. All Essence glasses from iittala are dishwasher safe and can be securely held due to their flat, slightly rounded shape. And in a set of 2, the Essence water glass (35 cl) from iittala is perfect for enjoying water on any occasion – generously, of course, while savoring a good wine.
