Product Description
The set of two red wine glasses from iittala exemplifies finnish design. The essence stemware collection consist of 4 essential pieces, including this 16-ounce red wine glass. According to the designer, alfredo haberli, the thinking behind the design collection was to have as few pieces as possible while still being able to serve a full range of wines/champagnes. Each glass is firmly balanced and feels comfortable in hand. The bowl diameter at the top is 2-3/4-inch. The bowl is 4-inch top to bottom and then 9-inch tall including the stem.

Amazon.com Review
Combining a minimalist approach with skillful design, Alfredo Haberli's Essence stemware is both sophisticated and remarkably versatile. The modern-meets-traditional shapes feature distinct angular bowls and flat bases in sizes that can be suited to accommodate many beverage choices. This set of two 15-ounce red wine glasses stands 9 inches tall-the same height as the other stemmed glasses in the collection-with a long, elegant silhouette that looks equally at home in a formal or casual setting. From serving Pinot Noir to Beaujolais, the glasses are sure to be busy entertainers in the household. They are dishwasher-safe and made in Finland. Introduced in 2001, the Essence design has won several prestigious European design awards. --Kara Karll
