Product Description
The Luigi Bormioli Back to the 20's Hemingway Special Martini Glass is a 250ml cocktail glass from a collection designed around the styling of the 1920s. It combines a sculptural, curved bowl with a slender stem, producing a glass that reads as considered and distinctive on a bar top without leaning into novelty.
In a busy bar or restaurant environment, the durability of stemware is a genuine operational concern. These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx lead-free crystal, which offers good clarity and light transmission. The stems are reinforced with a patented titanium-based anti-abrasion treatment, which meaningfully improves resistance to the kind of surface wear and micro-fractures that accumulate through repeated dishwasher cycles and handling. The manufacturer rates them for over 4,000 dishwasher cycles while retaining their brilliance — a useful benchmark when assessing replacement frequency and cost.
For operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing the need for hand-polishing and keeping turnaround efficient during service
- Ultra-thin rims improve the drinking experience and presentation without compromising structural integrity
- Lead-free crystal construction meets current safety and compliance expectations
- Supplied in packs of 12, which suits most initial par stock requirements at a single bar station
These glasses require no special storage beyond standard stemware racking. At 140g per glass, they are reasonably lightweight for their style. The 105mm diameter bowl suits a classic martini pour at 250ml without excess headspace.
The Hemingway Special is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurant beverage programmes where presentation matters and glassware is turned around quickly. For very high-volume venues running multiple bar stations, it is worth discussing whether a larger opening quantity would better cover breakage rates and par stock needs. If you would like guidance on quantities or want to talk through your glassware programme more broadly, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Luigi Bormioli rates the SON.hyx crystal for over 4,000 dishwasher cycles without significant loss of clarity or finish, which is a strong performance indicator for commercial use. The titanium anti-abrasion treatment on the stems addresses one of the most common failure points in stemware — surface micro-fractures caused by repeated rack-washing and handling. That said, breakage rates will always vary with how glassware is racked, handled, and stored, so maintaining an adequate par stock remains sensible practice.
- For a single bar station running a modest cocktail menu, 12 glasses will often cover an initial par stock, particularly if you have a reliable dishwasher turnaround. For higher-volume venues, multi-station bars, or operations where martini-style cocktails feature prominently on the menu, ordering two or more packs from the outset is generally advisable to allow for breakage and keep service uninterrupted. If you are unsure what quantity suits your operation, the team can help you work through it.
- The Hemingway Special's design sits comfortably in mid- to upper-market bar and restaurant environments where cocktail presentation is part of the guest experience. The 1920s-inspired styling gives them a distinctive character that works well in boutique hotels, cocktail bars, and restaurant beverage programmes. They are less likely to be the right fit for very high-volume, informal settings where robust, simpler stemware is more practical.
