Orrefors Intermezzo Wine Glass

Yes, the iconic blue drop is a solid, integral part of the glass stem, created during the mouth-blowing process. It is permanently fused within the glass, so it will not fade or detach over time.

While the glass is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the clarity and luster of the mouth-blown crystal. If you must use a dishwasher, use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent and ensure the glasses are spaced properly to prevent chipping.

For red wine, a standard pour of 5 to 6 ounces is ideal. This allows enough room in the bowl for the wine to aerate properly, enhancing the bouquet and flavor profile.

Mouth-blown glass is generally thinner and more refined than machine-made alternatives, which gives it a lighter, more elegant feel in the hand. While it is crafted with precision and quality, it should be handled with the same care you would give any fine crystal stemware.

The Intermezzo glass has a distinct, sculptural aesthetic that works well as a statement piece. It pairs beautifully with minimalist, clear crystal stemware, allowing the blue drop to serve as a focal point on your table.
