Product Description
Luigi Bormioli Allegro 13.5 Ounce Double Old-Fashioned Glasses, Set of 4: Kitchen & Dining. A 25-year guarantee protects the set against staining and chips to glass rims and bases incurred during normal household use. Wine and spirits aside, a home bar requires glassware. After the all-purpose wine glass, perhaps the next essential addition to one’s bar is the Double Old-Fashioned glass, like those found in this four-piece set of 13-3/4-ounce glasses from Luigi Bormioli’s Allegro line. Made at Luigi Bormioli’s Parma, Italy headquarters, the Allegro glassware aspires to radiate its musical namesake’s lively and cheerful qualities in its brilliant appearance and durability. Each double old-fashioned glass in the set sits upon a thick, translucent base while the glass’s sleek sides expand evenly up to the wide mouth’s thin rim. Traditionally used for “rocks” drinks, the volume of the Allegro glasses allows for extra ice in one’s Scotch on the rocks. It also is a great vessel for various mixed drinks, such as amaretto sours or White Russians.The set reflects the Parma region’s long legacy of glass artistry and the similar reputation built by Luigi Bormioli since its 1946 inception. Though the company remains committed to fabricating their glassware from the purest sands and natural ingredients and to practicing time-honored glassblowing techniques, the company also embraces modern technology. The Allegro line exemplifies this mélange of historic glass craftsmanship and forward-thinking innovation with its make-up of Luigi Bormioli’s patented lead-free, crystalline SON.Hyx glass. SON.Hyx’s clarity in both its lucidity and sonority rival the industry’s standard, lead crystal. Furthermore, SON.Hyx glassware surpasses crystal with great strides in resilience against chips and cracks from each glass’s base to rim. The dishwasher-safe glassware resists discoloration and sustains its original lucidity for over 400 wash cycles. Each 7-2/5-by-3-3/4-inch glass stands 9-1/3 inches high.
