Iittala Essence Red or White Wine Glasses
Alfredo Haberli created these beautiful glasses for Iittala Finland with an essential idea: fewer glasses while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. The Essence wine glasses are unified by the angular shape of the bowl, while the stem and base of each glass is the same size size, providing a sense of balance at the table. They are easy to handle, designed to expose the true taste and nose of whatever wine you pour in them.
Choose between white or red.
