The collection features 4 low glasses, 4 medium glasses, and 4 tall glasses, each tailored for specific beverages. The low glass, ideal for savoring whiskey or wine, contrasts with the medium glass, a versatile companion for water or beer. The tall glass takes center stage, perfectly suited for the effervescence of refreshing lemonade. However, the choice of which glass complements your beverage is a canvas for your creativity. Meticulously designed, the tall glass is born from a specially crafted mold, yielding three distinct sizes by meticulous cutting. Hand-blown from lead-free crystal glass, the glasses showcase variations in thickness at the base, resulting in a unique tactile experience. Embracing the artisanal touch, occasional air bubbles or imperfections become charming nuances, celebrating the craft rather than flaws. Beyond their aesthetic allure, the glasses exhibit a thoughtful design – they can be stacked conventionally or with their bases interlocked. This duality not only enhances storage efficiency but also adds an element of playful interaction to the collection, a hallmark of Maarten Baptist's designs. Characteristic of all Maarten Baptist’s creations, the WAVE Glassware invites engagement. Initially unassuming, the glasses reveal a myriad of possibilities upon closer inspection. Their unique wave form at the base allows for creative presentation, such as serving meat under an upturned glass with a delightful soup on top. The lead-free crystal glass ensures a crystal-clear reflection, accentuated by a pleasing weight in the hand. The craftsmanship is evident in small imperfections like air bubbles, which Maarten Baptist sees not as mistakes but as testimony to the handmade process. Each glass bears Maarten's name engraved on the base, a mark of authenticity and pride.
