Product Description
The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo Masterpiece Old Fashioned Glass is a 260ml rocks glass from one of Italy's established glassware manufacturers. It sits within the Michelangelo Masterpiece collection, which uses Luigi Bormioli's Sparkx lead-free glass formula — a material developed specifically to maintain clarity and resist the wear associated with regular commercial service.
In a bar or hospitality environment, glassware takes consistent punishment: repeated dishwasher cycles, occasional knocks during service, and stacking in storage. This range is rated to withstand 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles while retaining its original clarity and finish, which is a meaningful figure when you're cycling glassware through a commercial machine multiple times a day. The Sparkx glass also provides a 30% increase in resistance to mechanical shocks compared to standard soda-lime glass, which helps reduce breakage rates in busy service conditions.
- Lead-free Sparkx glass retains clarity through extended commercial use
- Rated to 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation
- 30% greater mechanical shock resistance versus standard glass
- Classic old fashioned profile suits spirits, cocktails, and long drinks
- Supplied in a pack of 24, suited to opening stock or replenishment orders
The classic tumbler shape works across a broad range of serves — spirits over ice, short cocktails, or soft drink service — making it a practical general-purpose choice rather than a specialist glass. At 260ml, it sits at a standard old fashioned capacity that aligns with typical measured spirit serves with ice.
There are no installation considerations for glassware, though it is worth confirming your dishwasher's cycle temperatures and detergent dosing are within the manufacturer's recommendations to realise the full lifespan rating. If you're equipping a new site or replacing a full glassware range across multiple covers, the pack quantity and durability credentials make this a sensible baseline choice. For very high-volume venues cycling large quantities of glassware daily, it may be worth discussing whether a heavier commercial grade or a different pack size would better suit your throughput.
If you're unsure which glass suits your menu or service style, we're happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Sparkx glass is rated to 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles whilst retaining clarity and finish. It is still worth ensuring your machine's cycle temperatures and detergent dosing align with the manufacturer's recommendations, as overly aggressive chemistry can affect any glassware over time.
- That depends on your covers, turnover rate, and how frequently you're cycling glassware through the wash. As a general guide, most operators aim to hold two to three times their peak simultaneous cover count in any given glass style. The pack of 24 works well as a starter quantity or a top-up order for an existing range.
- For a 35ml or 50ml spirit serve with a modest amount of ice, 260ml is a comfortable fit and a common old fashioned size in UK bar operations. If your serves routinely include larger ice cubes or you're building longer cocktails in this glass, it may be worth considering a slightly larger format — we can advise on alternatives if needed.
