The Olympic white champagne coupe in two lines
The Olympic white champagne coupe by Stölzle Lausitz is a shallow-bowled stem glass for sparkling wine and cocktails: 230ml, 14.7cm tall, 9.5cm across at its widest. The glass is lead-free crystal glass, machine-made. Outside it is matt white, from rim to foot. Seen from above, the inside wall is gold. It is sold in a pack of six.
Who it is for
For anyone who lays tables for functions: weddings, christenings, openings, Sunday brunch. On pale linen the matt white stays in the same shade as the table, and the gold appears when the guest lifts the coupe. The maker itself lists weddings and celebrations among the occasions for this finish. Caterers use it for the welcome toast, which is the moment when every glass is in a hand and in a photograph.
As with any covered glass, the drink does not show from the side. The colour of a rosé or a cocktail is read from above, against the gold base.
The colour of the white champagne coupe: how it is made
Stölzle Lausitz states it in the product sheet: the white and the gold are applied to the outside wall and then fired. That is why the maker declares the glasses dishwasher safe and writes that the colour lasts over time. Inside, where the drink sits, there is only glass.
For anyone working functions this counts twice. Sixty coupes after a toast go into the racks with no hand washing, and the white asks for no different care from the other stem glasses. On white, though, lipstick and fingerprints show more than on clear glass: the check after the wash is done coupe by coupe. The number of cycles the finish withstands is not declared.

What is served in 230ml
The white champagne coupe takes sparkling wine, prosecco and champagne, which are the uses the maker lists, and cocktails served without ice. The 9cm rim leaves room for a garnish resting on the edge. The 7.5cm foot keeps the coupe stable on the tray, and at 150g a waiter carries six at a time.
How many packs for a function
One pack is six coupes. A toast for sixty people takes ten packs, plus one spare for breakages in transport. Every coupe has the same shade because the finish is a standard production one, and the code stays in the maker’s current catalogue: the reorder after an event brings the same coupe.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.
The white champagne coupe next to the other Olympic glasses
The same shape comes in black and gold, for rooms with low lights. In the white finish there is also the 240ml cocktail glass. The clear coupes are in the cocktail coupes category.
At home the white champagne coupe is the one for celebrations: six matching glasses for a birthday or anniversary toast, washed afterwards in the dishwasher with the rest of the table.
FAQ
Does the white withstand the dishwasher? The maker declares it: the colours are applied to the outside and fired, and for this reason the glasses are dishwasher safe.
Is the colour in contact with the wine? No. It is on the outside wall: inside there is glass.
Is the coupe transparent? No. The outside is covered by the white, and the drink shows only from above.
Is the price for one coupe? No, it is for the pack of six.
