Luigi Bormioli

The Luigi Bormioli Bach decanter is a 700ml lead-free crystal glass decanter with a stopper, supplied in a pack of six. It is designed for presenting wine, water, or other beverages at the table in a commercial dining environment. The faceted form gives the piece a clean, considered appearance without being ostentatious.

Constructed from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx blown glass, the decanter is titanium-reinforced to improve resistance to chipping and breakage — a practical consideration in busy front-of-house settings where glassware is handled repeatedly during service. The material maintains its clarity and brilliance over sustained use, which matters when presentation is part of the dining offer.

From an operational standpoint, the Bach decanter offers several advantages for hospitality businesses:

• Rated to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation in clarity or structural integrity
• Lead-free glass meets current UK and European safety requirements for food contact use
• Titanium reinforcement reduces the rate of chipping at the rim and base, lowering replacement frequency
• Supplied in sixes, which suits standard par-stock planning for table service operations

There are no particular installation requirements — this is tableware rather than equipment. It is worth confirming that your commercial dishwasher's programme settings are appropriate for fine glassware cycles, as excessively aggressive wash programmes can accelerate wear on any glass over time, even durable SON.hyx construction.

The Bach decanter is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and dining operations where glassware presentation is considered important but durability through a commercial wash cycle is equally so. It sits at a mid-range price point; operations with very high breakage rates or rougher service environments may find a heavier, more basic decanter more cost-effective to replace.

If you are specifying glassware across a full table setting or want to discuss quantities and suitability for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

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.

The Luigi Bormioli Diamante gin goblet is a large-format glass from the Diamante collection, designed for gin and tonic service in bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues. The embossed surface pattern gives the glass a distinctive textured appearance that catches light well under bar and table lighting, without relying on heavy decorative detail that tends to look tired quickly.

Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal, the Diamante goblet is engineered to perform under the demands of regular commercial use. The material offers meaningfully improved shock resistance compared to standard glass, and the rims are significantly reinforced — both practical considerations in environments where glasses are loaded, unloaded, and stacked repeatedly through service. Of equal relevance to operators is the durability through repeated machine washing: the crystal is formulated to retain its clarity and surface finish through extended dishwasher use, so the glasses coming out of the glasswasher at the end of a busy shift continue to look presentable on the bar.

• Reinforced rims reduce edge chipping during handling and washing
• SON.hyx crystal retains clarity and finish after prolonged dishwasher use
• Textured Diamante pattern adds visual interest without heavy decoration
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during high-volume service
• Sold in an 8-pack, suited to building bar stock gradually

The 650ml capacity suits a standard gin and tonic build with a full ice load, which is the practical reason this size has become common in bar service. The goblet format also works for other long drinks and cocktails served over ice.

An 8-pack is a sensible starting quantity for smaller venues or for trialling a new glass before committing to larger volumes. Busier operations running multiple bar stations may want to consider purchasing in greater quantities to ensure consistent glassware across service and allow for attrition over time.

If you're unsure whether this glass is the right fit for your venue or service style, we're happy to advise — it's the kind of detail that's worth getting right before you order.

The Luigi Bormioli Roma 1960 is a 550ml stemmed glass designed for wine and cocktail service. Its distinctive cross-hatch embossed body draws on mid-century styling, making it a practical choice for venues where the glassware is expected to contribute to the overall presentation rather than fade into the background.

Manufactured in Italy from SON.hyx lead-free crystal, the Roma 1960 offers the clarity and light refraction associated with traditional crystal while avoiding the fragility and lead content that can complicate commercial use. The material is notably lightweight for its size, which matters during extended service when front-of-house staff are handling multiple covers. Luigi Bormioli rates these glasses for up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without significant loss of clarity or brilliance — a meaningful figure in any venue running a busy glass programme.

For operators, the key practical advantages are:

• Lead-free crystal construction suitable for high-turnover commercial environments
• Dishwasher-rated to 4,000 cycles, reducing replacement frequency
• Lightweight build reduces fatigue during high-volume service
• Embossed design adds visual interest without relying on delicate surface printing
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for par-stock planning

The 550ml capacity suits generous wine pours, large-format cocktails, and spritz-style drinks. The glass is well suited to casual dining restaurants, cocktail bars, and hotel food and beverage operations where a degree of character in the glassware is desirable but durability remains a priority.

If you are building a glassware range across multiple drink styles or need guidance on par levels for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Luigi Bormioli I Meravigliosi collection is a range of lead-free crystal beverage glasses designed for professional service environments where both durability and presentation matter. These glasses hold 570ml and are sold in a pack of 24, making them a practical choice for operators looking to build or refresh front-of-house stock without buying in small quantities.

What sets this collection apart in a commercial context is the combination of an ultra-thin rim — which improves the drinking experience — and a flat-bottomed bowl that encourages gentle aeration. For a wine glass used in a busy restaurant or bar, that design detail can make a noticeable difference to how the drink is presented to the guest. The SON.hyx crystal glass used by Luigi Bormioli is a proprietary lead-free formula that delivers strong clarity alongside resistance to the thermal and mechanical stresses of regular commercial dishwashing.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Dishwasher safe and rated to retain clarity for over 4,000 wash cycles
• Lightweight construction that reduces fatigue during high-volume service
• Ultra-thin 0.95mm rim for an improved guest experience without fragility
• Flat bowl base promotes natural aeration without requiring a separate decanter
• Lead-free crystal with strong breakage resistance relative to its weight

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and hotel food and beverage operations where glassware takes heavy daily use. They are a mid-market professional choice — not the heaviest-duty option available, but practical for most table service environments. Operations with very high breakage rates or rough handling conditions may want to consider a thicker-walled alternative.

If you are unsure whether this collection is the right fit for your service volume or glassware programme, we are happy to help you think it through before you commit to a quantity.

The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque Super Flute is a professional-grade champagne and sparkling wine glass designed for commercial service environments. Each glass holds 200ml and is made from SON.hyx crystal — a lead-free, ultra-clear material that presents a clean, bright appearance in the glass without distortion.

In practical terms, what sets these flutes apart from standard hospitality glassware is their durability specification. SON.hyx is titanium-reinforced, which improves resistance to chipping and mechanical shock — the kind of everyday wear that comes from stacking, racking, and repeated dishwasher runs. Luigi Bormioli rates these glasses to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degrading clarity or structural integrity, which is a meaningful figure for any operation running multiple sittings per day.

For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages include:

• Consistent clarity maintained through extended dishwasher use
• Reduced breakage risk compared with standard crystal stemware
• Lead-free construction, suitable for all food service settings
• Uniform presentation across a full pack of 24

These flutes are well suited to hotels, restaurants, event caterers, and licensed venues where champagne or sparkling wine service is a regular part of the offering. The 24-piece pack format suits operations that need to maintain a working float accounting for breakage and rotation through the glasswasher. For very high-volume venues or those with a particularly intensive sparkling wine list, it is worth considering whether a larger opening stock makes sense from the outset.

If you are unsure how many covers this pack will support, or whether this glass is the right fit for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Diamante hi-ball glass is a commercial-grade beverage glass designed for cocktail and soft drink service. Part of Luigi Bormioli's Diamante range, it features an embossed surface pattern that adds visual texture to the glass without compromising its practical performance in a busy service environment.

These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal, a material that combines genuine clarity with improved mechanical strength compared to standard soda-lime glass. The reinforced rim and increased shock resistance make them a practical choice for high-turnover bar and restaurant settings where breakage costs are a real operational concern. Luigi Bormioli's testing indicates they retain their clarity and finish well into a demanding dishwasher cycle programme, which matters when glasses are being turned around multiple times across a service.

• Embossed Diamante pattern adds visual interest without affecting stackability or grip
• Strengthened rims reduce chipping during handling and racking
• SON.hyx crystal maintains appearance after repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during busy service periods
• Supplied in a case of 24, suited to standard bar par stock requirements

As with any glassware purchase, it is worth considering how the pattern and profile fit your existing presentation style, and whether the 480ml capacity suits your serving measurements. The Diamante range sits at a mid-market point — appropriate for casual dining, bar and pub service, and hotel food and beverage operations. If your volume or breakage rate is particularly high, it may be worth discussing whether a plainer, higher-durability alternative would serve you better day to day.

If you are fitting out a new bar or refreshing existing stock across multiple covers, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and options before you commit.

The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque Fragrante is a professional stemware glass designed to present aromatic white wines and other fragrant varietals at their best. Part of the wider Vinoteque range, the Fragrante bowl shape is intended to direct and concentrate a wine's aromatic profile, making it a considered choice for operators who want their wine service to reflect the quality of what's in the bottle.

These glasses are made from SON.hyx, Luigi Bormioli's proprietary lead-free crystal. The material offers the clarity and brightness associated with traditional crystal without the environmental and handling concerns of lead-based glass. In commercial service, the practical story is durability: the glass is titanium-reinforced to reduce chipping and breakage at the rim and stem — the points most vulnerable during clearing, washing, and stacking. Luigi Bormioli rates SON.hyx glasses for up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation in clarity or physical integrity, which represents meaningful longevity in a busy environment.

• Lead-free SON.hyx crystal with titanium reinforcement at vulnerable contact points
• Rated for up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity
• Bowl profile designed to concentrate aromatic expression in fragrant wine styles
• Supplied in a pack of 24, suited to batch restocking
• Maintains appearance and structural integrity under regular high-volume service

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and hotel food and beverage operations where presentation matters and replacement costs need to be managed. They are a practical mid-to-upper tier option rather than an entry-level glass, and the pack quantity of 24 makes them a sensible restocking unit for most covers. If your operation runs very high covers or particularly demanding service conditions, it is worth considering whether a more resilient everyday glass would complement these for general table use.

If you are putting together a full stemware range or matching glasses to a wine list, the team is happy to talk through what works well together.

The Luigi Bormioli Palace cooler glass is a 445ml all-purpose tumbler designed for commercial bar and restaurant service. It is made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx lead-free crystal glass, which offers the clarity and light transmission of traditional crystal without the fragility associated with it. The Palace range sits toward the more considered end of everyday commercial glassware — presentable enough for table service, robust enough for busy bar use.

Where these glasses tend to stand out in practice is longevity. The combination of titanium reinforcement and an anti-abrasion surface treatment means they hold up well against the knocks and scratches that accumulate quickly in high-turnover environments. Luigi Bormioli's own testing rates them to retain their clarity and finish through 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles, which translates to a meaningful reduction in replacement frequency compared with standard uncoated glassware.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Dishwasher-safe for commercial glasswashers without significant loss of brilliance over time
• Lead-free crystal construction is food-safe and meets current compliance requirements
• Consistent sizing and weight across the pack supports uniform presentation on the floor
• Good resistance to chipping on rims and bases, which are the most common failure points in service

These glasses are well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel bars, and any licensed venue running a mid-volume covers operation where presentation matters but replacement costs also need managing. They are supplied as a 24-pack, which is a practical quantity for smaller operations or for topping up an existing stock. Higher-volume venues running large events or multiple bars may want to consider whether a larger case format or a heavier-duty specification would better match their throughput and storage requirements.

If you are assessing glassware across a full bar or dining room setup and want to discuss quantities or suitability alongside other items, the team is happy to help work through that before you order.

The Luigi Bormioli Top Class Square tumbler is a straight-sided beverage glass with a distinctive square base, designed for use across modern bars, restaurants, and café settings. The 410ml capacity makes it a practical all-rounder for soft drinks, juices, iced beverages, and water service.

Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx high-tech crystal glass, the Top Class range holds up well under regular commercial use. The material is notably resistant to clouding and surface scratching over time — a common issue with standard glass in high-turnover environments — and the laser-cut rim produces a clean, smooth drinking edge that contributes to a more refined front-of-house impression.

From an operational standpoint, this glass offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Dishwasher safe and resistant to clouding through repeated wash cycles
• Square base adds stability on trays and table surfaces during service
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue for floor staff during busy service
• Supplied in a pack of 24, suitable for stocking a section or replacing breakages
• Consistent shape supports neat presentation across a table or bar top

As with all commercial glassware, suitability depends on service style and wash cycle frequency. This is a mid-weight crystal glass rather than a heavy-duty polycarbonate option, so it is best suited to table service and bar environments with standard glasswasher facilities rather than high-impact catering situations where breakage risk is elevated.

The Top Class Square works well for independent restaurants, hotels, and café-bars looking for contemporary glassware at a sensible price per unit. If you're stocking a larger operation or need guidance on quantities or alternative styles, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Luigi Bormioli Palace double old fashioned glass is a 400ml lead-free crystal tumbler designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. Part of Luigi Bormioli's Palace collection, it is built to a standard that suits operators who want glassware that looks the part without requiring constant replacement.

In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a sustained beating — rapid handling, frequent dishwasher cycles, and the inevitable knocks of high-turnover service. The Palace glass is made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx glass composition and is reinforced with titanium, which gives it meaningfully better resistance to chips and breakage compared to standard soda-lime glassware. The anti-abrasion treatment helps the glass retain its clarity over time, so it does not develop the dull, frosted appearance that cheaper glasses show after repeated machine washing. For operations running two or three dishwasher cycles a night, that longevity matters.

From a practical standpoint, this glass suits operators who want a clean, weighted feel that works across both spirits service and cocktails without looking out of place. The 400ml capacity is well suited to standard double measures served over ice. Key practical points worth noting:

• Lead-free crystal construction with good optical clarity for presenting drinks well
• Titanium reinforcement improves resistance to mechanical shock and edge chipping
• Anti-abrasion treatment maintains appearance through sustained commercial dishwasher use
• Supplied in a 24-unit pack, practical for initial stock or topping up losses

This glass is well suited to hotel bars, restaurants, and cocktail bars running a consistent spirits and mixed drink programme. It is not a budget replacement glass — it is positioned for venues where presentation and durability both need to be maintained. For very high-volume venues with significant weekly glass loss, it is worth discussing quantities and alternatives with the team before committing.

If you are unsure whether the Palace glass is the right fit for your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Top Class Square Old Fashioned Tumbler is a commercial-grade rocks glass designed for bar and table service in hospitality environments. The square profile and softened angles give it a clean, contemporary appearance that sits well in modern bar settings without looking overly styled or fussy.

These tumblers are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal glass, which is known for holding its clarity through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. Unlike standard soda-lime glass, SON.hyx resists the clouding and surface etching that tends to dull glassware over time in high-throughput operations. The laser-cut rim contributes to a cleaner drinking experience and reduces the risk of chipping at the lip — a common failure point on cheaper tumblers used in busy service.

Practical considerations for busy operations include:

• Dishwasher safe — suitable for commercial glasswashers used at standard settings
• Supplied in a pack of 24, providing a practical opening stock for a new venue or a reliable top-up for existing operations
• The square base adds stability on flat surfaces, reducing tipping risk during service
• Crystal clarity supports presentation for spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks equally well

These tumblers are well suited to bars, restaurants, hotels, and casual dining venues that want a presentable, durable rocks glass without the fragility associated with very fine crystal. They are not intended for outdoor or high-attrition environments where polycarbonate would be the more practical choice.

If you are stocking a new venue or reviewing your glassware range, we are happy to discuss quantities and formats that suit your service style.

The Luigi Bormioli Top Class Square Double Old Fashioned Tumbler is a commercial-grade rocks glass with a distinctive square base and softened angular profile. It sits comfortably in the hand and presents well on the bar or table, making it a practical choice for spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks alike. The 350ml capacity is well suited to standard double measures served over ice.

Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal, these tumblers offer a noticeably high level of clarity and brightness that holds up over time. The material is notably resistant to clouding, scratching, and the gradual dulling that affects standard glassware under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles — a practical consideration in any busy licensed premises. The laser-cut rim gives a clean, finished edge that contributes to the overall quality feel without being overly delicate in a service context.

For operators, the key practical advantages are:

• Dishwasher safe and resistant to repeated commercial wash cycles without significant loss of clarity
• The square base adds stability on service trays and bar tops
• Uniform shape makes stacking and storage straightforward in compact back-of-house spaces
• Supplied in a pack of 36, suitable for stocking a bar or replacing attrition losses in bulk
• Consistent profile across the range supports a cohesive table or bar presentation

These tumblers are well suited to hotels, bars, restaurants, and casual dining venues looking for a contemporary rocks glass that performs reliably through busy service. If your operation has particularly high turnover or requires significantly larger pack quantities, it is worth discussing volume options with the team before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this style and size suits your service format or you want to talk through glassware quantities for a new opening or restock, we are happy to help.

The Luigi Bormioli Top Class Square Double Old Fashioned Tumbler is a 425ml spirits and cocktail glass designed for commercial hospitality use. The square-based silhouette gives it a contemporary profile that works well across bar, restaurant, and hotel settings without leaning into anything overly decorative.

These tumblers are made from SON.hyx crystal glass, Luigi Bormioli's high-tech glass composition that is notably resistant to clouding, chipping, and the general wear that comes with repeated commercial dishwashing cycles. In practice, that means the glass retains its clarity and presentability through the kind of high-turnover service that would visibly dull lesser glassware within a few months. The laser-cut rim contributes to a cleaner drinking edge and helps maintain consistency across a matched set over time.

For busy bar operations, a few practical points are worth considering:

• Dishwasher safe and suited to commercial glasswasher cycles
• Supplied in a pack of 36, supporting full service covers without constant restocking
• Square base adds stability on bar surfaces and trays
• Consistent form factor simplifies stacking and storage behind the bar
• SON.hyx glass resists the clouding and etching common with softer glass in high-use environments

A pack of 36 makes these practical for venues that need full cover across a section without supplementing with mismatched stock. The square format does mean these stack differently to standard round tumblers, so it is worth checking your existing storage and glasswasher rack configuration before ordering in volume.

These tumblers are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurants serving spirits or long drinks where presentation matters alongside durability. If you are equipping a larger venue or want to discuss glass selection across a full bar specification, we are happy to help.

The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque tequila flute is a specialist piece of stemware designed for serving tequila in a way that directs the aroma and focuses the tasting experience. At 105ml, the narrow bowl and flute profile concentrate the spirit's nose without overpowering, making these suitable for considered spirits service in cocktail bars, fine dining, and premium hospitality venues.

These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx material — an ultra-clear, lead-free glass with titanium reinforcement added during production. In practical terms, this makes them noticeably more resistant to chipping and mechanical shock than standard bar glass, which matters in a busy service environment where glasses are handled repeatedly across multiple covers. The clarity also presents spirits cleanly under bar lighting, which is a reasonable consideration for venues where presentation carries weight.

A key practical point for operators is the commercial dishwasher rating. SON.hyx glass is designed to withstand repeated machine washing without clouding, etching, or loss of clarity — a common problem with lesser glassware in high-cycle environments. This reduces the rate of glass replacement and helps maintain a consistent presentation standard across the floor.

• Titanium reinforcement reduces chipping and breakage risk in busy service
• Rated for high-volume commercial dishwasher use without clouding
• Lead-free crystal clarity suits premium spirits presentation
• Flute profile concentrates aroma for considered tasting service
• Supplied as a pack of 24, practical for stocking a full bar station

These are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurants with a spirits or tequila-focused offering. For venues requiring a larger opening count or higher breakage tolerance, it is worth considering a more robust everyday alternative alongside these for standard service.

If you are unsure whether this glass suits your service style or are planning a larger opening order, our team is happy to talk through your requirements.

The Luigi Bormioli Globe cups are double-walled borosilicate glass cups designed for serving cappuccinos, teas, and cold drinks in professional hospitality settings. The double-wall construction traps a layer of air between the inner and outer walls, slowing heat transfer in both directions — keeping hot drinks warmer for longer whilst the outer surface stays comfortable to hold, and preventing condensation forming on the outside when serving cold beverages.

In a busy café or restaurant environment, these cups perform reliably through continuous service. Borosilicate glass is well suited to the thermal demands of front-of-house use — it handles the transition from hot liquid to ambient temperature without the stress cracking that can affect standard glass. The stackable design makes storage practical where space is limited behind the counter or in a service station.

Key practical advantages for operators include:

• No condensation on tables or hands, reducing the need for coasters or extra napkins
• Comfortable exterior temperature means no need for a separate cup sleeve
• Stackable form suits tight counter and storage environments
• Clear glass presentation suits specialty coffee service and branded menu items
• Borosilicate construction offers good resistance to thermal shock in day-to-day use

These cups are hand-wash recommended for longevity, though borosilicate glass generally tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles better than standard glass. It is worth confirming wash cycle temperatures and detergent compatibility with your dishwasher supplier before putting glassware of this type through high-temperature programmes regularly, as the double-wall seal can be affected over time by aggressive cycles.

The Globe cups are a practical choice for cafés, hotel breakfast service, and hospitality venues where drink presentation matters and front-of-house efficiency is a priority. They are supplied in packs of 12, which suits a standard service complement or a backup stock rotation.

If you are uncertain about the right quantity for your covers or have questions about glassware suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Luigi Bormioli Globe is a double-walled espresso cup made from borosilicate glass. The double-wall construction creates an insulating air pocket between the inner and outer layers, which slows heat transfer in both directions — keeping the drink warmer for longer while ensuring the outer surface stays comfortable to hold without a saucer being strictly necessary.

In a busy café or restaurant setting, these cups handle the practical demands of service well. Borosilicate glass has good thermal shock resistance, so it copes with the transition from ambient storage to a hot espresso pour without issue. The stackable design keeps storage tidy on a back bar or shelf, and the cups are dishwasher safe, which matters when you're cycling glassware through a busy shift.

A few practical points worth noting for service use:

• Double-walled construction retains espresso temperature without burning the customer's hand
• No condensation on the exterior, keeping tables and trays dry
• Stackable form reduces storage footprint behind the bar
• Borosilicate glass resists thermal shock from repeated hot fills and machine washing
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suitable for a small to medium cover count

These cups are well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast service, and restaurant dessert covers where presentation matters alongside practicality. The glass construction suits operators who want a cleaner aesthetic than ceramic without compromising durability. For higher-volume operations cycling through larger quantities of glassware, it's worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your throughput.

If you're unsure whether these fit your service style or you'd like to discuss glassware options across your menu, we're happy to help you work it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Globe latte cup is a double-walled borosilicate glass cup designed for serving hot and cold beverages in a professional setting. The double-wall construction creates an insulating air pocket between the two layers of glass, slowing heat transfer in both directions. Hot drinks stay warmer for longer; cold drinks stay chilled without the exterior becoming uncomfortable to hold.

In a busy café or restaurant environment, that thermal performance has a practical effect on service quality. A latte placed on the table remains at a reasonable drinking temperature for longer, which matters during congested service periods when drinks may sit briefly before reaching the customer. The same cups work equally well for iced beverages, where the double wall also prevents condensation forming on the exterior — keeping tables dry and service cleaner.

From an operational standpoint, the Globe cup offers a few characteristics worth noting:

• Borosilicate glass construction handles thermal shock better than standard glass, reducing breakage risk in a busy pass environment
• Stackable design supports efficient storage behind a counter or bar
• Condensation-free exterior keeps service surfaces and trays cleaner during a shift
• The clear glass presents layered drinks — lattes, cortados, cold brews — cleanly without additional effort
• Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for fitting out a counter or supplementing existing stock

These cups are well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant bar counters where presentation matters alongside practicality. They are a sensible choice where operators want to serve both hot and cold specialty drinks from the same glassware. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a more impact-resistant alternative better fits the throughput.

If you are fitting out a new counter or want to discuss glassware quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Luigi Bormioli Atelier carafe is a small-format glass carafe designed to coordinate with the wider Atelier and Atelier Prestige ranges of stemware and tumblers. At 100ml capacity, it is suited to individual portion service — typically used for water, juice, or small wine accompaniments at the table.

The design is straightforward: a wide base provides stability on busy tables and trays, and the slanted spout is shaped to allow controlled, spill-free pouring. The glass is fully transparent, which works well in a dining environment where presentation matters. These are sold in a pack of twelve, which suits the rhythm of commercial table-setting and replacement purchasing.

• Coordinates with the Atelier stemware and tumbler range for a consistent table presentation
• Wide base reduces the risk of tipping during table service
• Slanted spout allows precise, drip-free pouring
• Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
• Sold in a pack of twelve, practical for stock rotation and breakage replacement

These carafes are suited to restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and café environments where a neat, consistent glassware range is a priority. They are a practical choice for operators already using the Atelier range who want to complete the table set. For venues with very high covers or where robustness is the primary concern, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge option might better suit your service style.

If you are putting together a full table programme or are unsure which pieces from the Atelier range work together for your operation, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Luigi Bormioli Atelier Carafe is a 1-litre glass carafe designed to complement the broader Atelier stemware and tumbler ranges. It is well suited to table service of water, wine, juice, or other beverages, and its clean, unfussy silhouette sits comfortably in both casual dining and more formal restaurant settings. Sold in a pack of six, it is a practical choice for operators equipping or restocking a full front-of-house operation.

In service, the wide base provides a stable footprint on busy tabletops, and the slanted spout allows for controlled, even pouring without drips or spillage — a small but worthwhile consideration during a busy lunch or dinner service. The fully transparent glass lets guests see the contents clearly, which works well for water and juice service in particular.

• Pairs with the Atelier and Atelier Prestige stemware and tumbler ranges for a coherent table setting
• Wide base reduces the risk of tipping during busy service
• Slanted spout supports clean, controlled pouring
• Dishwasher safe, keeping turnaround straightforward between covers
• Sold in a pack of six, suitable for equipping multiple tables

Being dishwasher safe is a practical advantage in any commercial setting where glassware needs to turn around quickly between sittings. Luigi Bormioli glass is produced using a reinforced manufacturing process that gives it reasonable resistance to the knocks and thermal cycling of regular commercial use, though as with all glass carafes, care in handling and stacking will extend service life.

This carafe is best suited to restaurants, cafés, hotel dining rooms, and event venues that already use or plan to use the Atelier range. If you are setting up a full table package or are unsure how the carafe fits within the wider Atelier collection, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Luigi Bormioli Palace range is a large-format red wine glass designed for commercial use, where the balance between presentation and durability is a practical concern rather than a marketing point. Made from Luigi Bormioli's own SON.hyx lead-free crystal, the glass offers strong optical clarity — the kind that shows a wine's colour accurately under dining room lighting without the cloudiness that cheaper glassware develops after repeated washing.

In a busy service environment, glassware takes a great deal of punishment — racking through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day, handled at pace by waiting staff, and stacked in tight storage. The Palace glass is reinforced with titanium and carries an anti-abrasion treatment that helps it hold up under those conditions. Luigi Bormioli state these glasses retain their clarity after 2,000 commercial dishwasher cycles, which is a meaningful figure for any operation running a high turnover of covers.

• Resists cloudiness and surface scratching through sustained commercial dishwasher use
• Lead-free crystal provides good clarity without the weight of traditional full-lead alternatives
• Titanium reinforcement reduces the rate of chipping and breakage at the rim and stem
• Large 570ml bowl suits full-service red wine pours with room for proper aeration
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for stocking a section or topping up existing covers

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, hotels, and wine bars where table presentation matters but glassware replacement costs are also a consideration. They work equally well for event and banqueting operations that need a reliable large-format red wine glass in volume. If your operation demands an even more robust option or a different bowl profile, it is worth discussing your cover count and service style with us before ordering.

If you are unsure whether the Palace is the right fit for your service — whether that is about bowl size, pack quantity, or suitability for your dishwasher setup — feel free to get in touch and we can help you work it out.

The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo white wine glass is a stemmed all-purpose white wine glass designed for commercial hospitality use. Each glass carries a CE stamp and a lined measure at 125ml, making it suitable for venues required to serve wine in standard legal measures.

Luigi Bormioli glassware is produced using a hardened glass formula that gives it reasonable resistance to the stresses of commercial dishwasher cycles and routine bar handling. The Michelangelo range sits in the mid-tier for durability — not as robust as fully tempered glassware intended for high-attrition environments, but well suited to table service in restaurants, hotels, and wine bars where presentation matters and careful handling is the norm.

• Legal measure line at 125ml with CE stamp for compliant wine service
• Slender stem profile suited to formal table and counter service
• Packs of 24 keep replacement stock practical and cost-effective
• Compatible with standard commercial glasswasher racks

As with most stemmed glassware in commercial settings, stem breakage at the dishwasher or during polishing is the most common point of loss. If your operation runs very high glass turnover or relies heavily on bar staff handling large numbers of glasses quickly, it is worth considering whether a wider-bodied or more resilient alternative would give a better cost-per-use outcome over time.

This glass is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and wine bars looking for a presentable, measure-compliant white wine glass at a sensible per-unit cost. For very high-volume or high-attrition environments, a toughened alternative may be worth discussing.

If you are unsure which glass specification is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo is a stemmed red wine glass designed for everyday commercial service. With a capacity of 220ml and a legal CE measure line at 175ml, it meets the practical requirements of licensed premises serving wine by the glass. The slender stem gives it a presentable appearance without veering into fragile or overly ornate territory.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware needs to withstand repeated handling, glasswasher cycles, and the general demands of service. Luigi Bormioli uses a glass composition that offers reasonable resistance to chipping and breakage compared with standard soda-lime glasses, making it a practical choice for operators who need consistent presentation across a large number of covers without excessive replacement costs.

Key practical points for service teams:

• CE stamped at 175ml for compliance with UK licensing regulations
• Suitable for repeated commercial glasswasher use
• Slender stem suits formal table settings without being impractical to handle
• 24-pack quantity reduces per-unit cost and supports stock rotation
• Consistent sizing makes stacking and storage straightforward

This glass is well suited to mid-range restaurants, hotel dining rooms, wine bars, and pub dining operations where a clean, classic presentation is required. It is not aimed at ultra-high-volume venues where a heavier, more robust machine-made glass might be a more economical choice, nor at fine dining settings where a larger-format or lead-free crystal glass may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this glass suits your service style, cover count, or licensing requirements, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo is a classic white wine glass designed for consistent, professional front-of-house service. Produced in Italy by a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in commercial glassware, the Michelangelo range is a recognisable choice for restaurants, hotels, and wine bars looking for a dependable, well-proportioned glass at a practical price point.

The slender stem and tulip-shaped bowl are suited to presenting white and rosé wines correctly — the shape helps direct the wine to the appropriate part of the palate while keeping hands away from the bowl to avoid warming the contents. The 190ml capacity with a recommended pour of 175ml gives a consistent fill line, which helps bar and floor staff serve accurately during busy service periods.

Luigi Bormioli glassware is made using a toughening process that improves resistance to breakage compared with standard glass, making it a practical choice for high-throughput environments where attrition is a real operational cost. Coming in a case of 24, it suits venues that need to maintain a working stock across multiple covers or replace breakages without placing frequent small orders.

• Well-proportioned bowl suitable for white and rosé wine service
• Consistent fill line supports accurate pouring by service staff
• Toughened construction reduces breakage rate in busy service
• Pack of 24 supports stock management across a full service

For higher-volume operations or venues with a more formal dining proposition, Luigi Bormioli produce other ranges with larger bowl sizes or a more premium specification. If you are unsure which glass best fits your service style or cover count, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Luigi Bormioli Back to the 20s whisky tumbler is a commercial-grade spirits glass drawing on the distinctive angular styling of 1920s barware. Made from lead-free crystal glass, it delivers the clarity and brilliance associated with traditional crystal without the fragility or the maintenance concerns that come with it.

In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a sustained battering — repeated machine washing, handling during service, and the general wear of a working bar. These tumblers are built with that reality in mind. The lead-free crystal construction is engineered to retain its clarity and sparkle through heavy, repeated dishwasher cycles, making them a practical choice for operations that run high glass turnover night after night.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Dishwasher-safe construction supports fast turnaround during busy service
• Ultra-clear glass maintains brilliance without hand-polishing between cycles
• The 450ml capacity suits both standard serves and larger spirit measures with mixers
• Supplied in a 12-pack, which suits initial stock builds or topping up existing sets
• Lead-free crystal provides an upmarket finish without the cost of traditional lead crystal

These glasses are suited to bars, hotel lounges, restaurant bar areas, and any venue where presentation of spirits matters alongside practical durability. They are not designed as a budget entry-level glass — the styling and material quality position them above basic tumbler ranges, and they work well in settings where the bar aesthetic is considered as carefully as the back-of-house operation.

If you are stocking a new bar or assessing whether this glass fits your current service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Back to the 20s Bramble tumbler is a 500ml straight-sided glass designed with a clean, period-influenced aesthetic that sits comfortably in cocktail bars, hotel lounges, and restaurant bar areas. It is made from ultra-clear lead-free crystal glass, which gives the finished drink strong visual clarity and a quality feel in hand.

In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a considerable amount of daily punishment — repeated washing, handling, and the occasional knock. The Bramble tumbler is built to hold up to that routine. The glass maintains its clarity and finish after a high number of commercial dishwasher cycles, which means it keeps looking presentable on the bar over an extended service life rather than clouding or dulling with repeated use.

From an operational standpoint, this glass offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Dishwasher-safe construction supports fast turnaround during busy service
• Ultra-clear glass keeps presentation consistent across the pass
• The 500ml capacity suits cocktails, long drinks, and iced beverages comfortably
• Lead-free crystal resists the clouding that affects lower-grade glass over time
• Supplied in a case of 12, which suits standard bar par stock planning

There are no unusual storage requirements. These stack and rack like standard tumblers, and the 12-pack case quantity makes it straightforward to maintain stock levels or phase in replacement units as needed.

This glass is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel and restaurant bars, and event venues where presentation matters and dishwasher throughput is high. Operators running very high-volume late-night venues may want to consider a more heavily tempered option if breakage rates are a concern.

If you are speccing glassware across multiple outlets or want to discuss case quantities and mix of styles, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.
