Olympia Red Wine, 20oz

Olympia is a collection of specialist wine glasses for those who appreciate the difference that a correctly shaped glass can make to the enjoyment of wine. The shape of a glass can significantly enhance (or diminish) the ‘nose’ and even the taste of the wine. Olympia glasses are wonderful examples of hand made specialist glasses for the total enjoyment of wine drinking. About the designer: in 1995 William Yeoward, in collaboration with Timothy Jenkins, expanded his collections to include crystal glassware inspired by antique Georgian designs of cuts and patterns. A key decision was to incorporate wherever possible some of the styles of cutting and hand engraving that make antique crystal so appealing, while at the same time creating functional and contemporary pieces. Besides Georgian-style crystal, William Yeoward also creates country-inspired glassware, which has simple and honest lines and smooth surfaces with comfortable handles and rims.  Each crystal piece takes multiple hours of work to complete, and the results are outstanding. 9¼" (232mm) 20oz / 570ml Handmade Crystal Glass Handwash Recommended
