Product Description
The RCR Cristalleria Melodia double old fashioned tumbler is a 310ml rocks glass designed for cocktail and spirits service. Part of RCR's Melodia range, it features a textured flourish pattern pressed into the glass that gives it visual weight and helps it stand apart on a busy bar top without requiring any additional garnish or staging.
In a bar or restaurant environment, this style of tumbler is a practical choice for serving spirits neat or over ice, classic cocktails such as old fashioneds and negronis, and soft drink accompaniments. The patterned body provides a reasonable grip during service, which is useful in high-turnover environments where glasses are handled frequently. RCR glassware is produced using lead-free crystal glass, which offers good clarity and a degree of durability suited to regular commercial use, though as with all crystal-style glassware, care in handling and washing is advisable.
- Well suited to cocktail bars, hotel lounges, and restaurant bar service
- The 310ml capacity works for standard spirit and mixer pours as well as short cocktails
- Sold in a pack of 12, which covers a reasonable opening stock or replacement quantity
- The embossed pattern adds presentation value without requiring specialist glassware
These glasses are best suited to establishments running a dedicated bar service where presentation matters alongside practicality. For very high-volume venues with rapid glass turnover, a heavier-gauge tumbler may offer better resilience. For lower-volume or more casual settings, a simpler straight-sided tumbler may be more cost-effective to replace.
If you are building out a glassware range or are unsure which style suits your service format, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Crystal-style glassware can be passed through commercial glasswashers, but repeated high-temperature cycles will gradually dull the finish over time. For best longevity, a lower-temperature glasswasher cycle with a rinse aid suited to crystal is advisable. Hand finishing after washing is common practice in establishments where presentation is a priority.
- For a small bar or restaurant with a modest cocktail menu, 12 glasses can cover light service, but most operators running a dedicated bar would hold two to three packs as working stock to allow for breakages and concurrent washing cycles. The right quantity depends on your covers and how quickly your glasswasher turns glasses around.
- The Melodia's embossed pattern gives it more visual presence than a plain-sided rocks glass, which suits venues where presentation is part of the offer. If your bar service is more casual or breakage rates are high, a plain heavy-based tumbler may be a more practical and cost-effective choice. It is worth considering the overall look you want before committing to a glassware style across your range.
