Iittala Essence Wine Glass

Yes, the Iittala Essence collection is designed for everyday use and is dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity of the glass over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly to avoid contact with other items.

Alfredo Häberli designed the Essence collection with identical stems and bases across the entire range. This creates a cohesive, balanced aesthetic on your table and makes the glasses feel remarkably stable and comfortable to hold regardless of the bowl size.

The glasses feature a notably thin lip, which is crafted to enhance the mouthfeel and sipping experience. While they feel refined and elegant in the hand, they are constructed from durable, lead-free glass intended for regular use.

While the 45 cl capacity is specifically optimized for red wine to allow for aeration, the minimalist design is versatile enough to handle a variety of wines. If you prefer a larger pour or a glass that accommodates a wide range of varietals, this size is an excellent, adaptable choice.

No, the lead-free composition ensures the glass remains perfectly clear and durable without compromising the visual presentation of your wine. It offers the same brilliance and transparency as traditional crystal while being more practical for daily maintenance.
