Product Description
The Schott Zwiesel Belfesta martini glass is a long-stemmed, wide-bowl cocktail glass made from Tritan crystal — a proprietary material developed by Schott Zwiesel that combines the clarity and weight of traditional crystal with considerably greater resistance to breakage and thermal stress. Each glass holds 343ml, making it a practical size for a standard martini build with garnish.
In a busy bar or cocktail lounge environment, glass breakage is a real operational cost. Tritan crystal is noticeably more robust than standard glassware under the repeated handling, stacking, and commercial dishwasher cycles that come with high-volume service. It retains its clarity over time rather than developing the cloudiness that affects cheaper glassware after repeated machine washing. The stem profile is well proportioned for comfortable holding without feeling either too delicate or overly heavy in the hand.
From a practical standpoint, the key advantages of this range are:
- Dishwasher-safe Tritan crystal resists chipping, breakage, and clouding in commercial use
- Consistent weight and balance supports confident front-of-house handling at pace
- Clear, bright crystal presentation suits cocktail menus where visual impact matters
- Supplied in a pack of six, making it straightforward to manage par levels on the bar
- The wide bowl shape allows for standard martini garnishes without crowding the rim
No special storage equipment is required, though as with all stemware the glasses should be racked or stored inverted to protect the rim. They are suitable for commercial dishwashers operating at standard temperatures. The pack weight of just over 1kg means they are easy to transport and handle during service changeovers.
These glasses are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, members' clubs, and cocktail bars where a clean, contemporary stemware presentation is expected. They sit comfortably within a mid-to-premium glassware programme. Operations running very high covers where maximum glass throughput and resilience are the priority may want to consider heavier-duty options, while those seeking a more entry-level glass for casual settings will find more economical alternatives in the range.
If you are building out a glassware programme or matching this to an existing range, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Schott Zwiesel's Tritan crystal is specifically engineered to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without clouding or becoming brittle. That said, as with all fine stemware, a dedicated glasswasher running at appropriate temperatures will extend the life of the glasses further than a high-temperature rack dishwasher.
- Tritan crystal is considerably more resistant to impact, thermal shock, and the micro-abrasions caused by commercial handling than conventional crystal. In practical terms, operators typically see meaningfully lower breakage rates compared with standard crystal stemware, which has a direct effect on replacement costs over time.
- Six glasses per pack is a useful starting unit, but most commercial bar operations will need multiple packs to maintain an adequate working par — particularly where martinis or similar stirred cocktails feature prominently on the menu. A reasonable rule of thumb is to hold at least three times your expected peak cover count in stemware to allow for service, washing, and a breakage buffer.
