Toast a job promotion in style with champagne with the 8-ounce flutes in this four-piece Luigi Bormioli Champagne set from the Crescendo stemware collection. In music, the word “Crescendo†indicates the gradual increase of volume up to the movement’s apex; the Crescendo glassware follows a similar trajectory as it rises above comparable stemware with increased brilliance and strength. Made at Luigi Bormioli’s Parma, the tall, sleek flutes offer the perfect vessels for serving bubbly, dessert wines, or spritzers. The sides of each flute's bowl narrow minimally up to the thin rim of the 2-inch diameter mouth. With its strong stem and broad base, the flute is as durable and stable as it is delicate in appearance.
The Champagne set exemplifies the attributes with which Parma’s legacy for top-notch artisan glass production was built: classic hand-blown glass and the use of the purest sands and raw materials available. With the Crescendo line, Luigi Bormioli blends the traditional with modern innovation with the flutes’ construction in their 2007 development, SON.Hyx, a lead-free, crystalline glass. SON.Hyx’s clarity in both sonority and transparency rivals fine crystal and even surpasses the old standard with great strides in chip and crack resilience, throughout each flute, from base to rim. Dishwasher-safe on the top shelf, the flutes resists stains and dulling to uphold the sparkling lucid glasswork for over 400 cycles. A 25-year guarantee covers the set in the event of any discoloration or any chips to the flute rims and feet due to normal use. The Crescendo collection offers a variety of stemware to complement this set. Each champagne flute measures 6 by 6 by 9-1/2 inches. The full set weighs a pound upon shipping.
