The Berlin martini glass in two lines
The Berlin martini glass by Stölzle Lausitz is a conical bowl on a tall stem: 230ml, 17.5cm tall, 10.6cm across at the rim, 226g. The glass is lead-free crystal glass, machine-made. The bowl carries the spiral relief of the range, and the foot is star-cut. The pack holds six glasses.
Who it is for
For a bar that serves cocktails without ice in the V shape. The maker names the Martini and the Cosmopolitan, and short drinks in general. It is the outline a guest links with a cocktail bar before reading the list. In a hotel bar it is the glass for the aperitif at the bar. In an evening venue it is the one for drinks shaken and fine strained.
The rim is thin, and the maker points it out as part of the workmanship. On a drink taken cold and in a few sips, the thickness of the rim is the first thing the lips feel.
The relief of the Berlin martini glass and the star foot
The Berlin range is designed, according to Stölzle Lausitz, on the spirit of 1920s Berlin, with details inspired by Art Deco. On the conical bowl the reference is the spiral structure in relief. Below, the foot is star-cut: the maker describes it as a detail that asks for great precision in production.
A clear cocktail without ice has nothing in it to move the light. Here the glass does it: the relief breaks up the reflections on the bowl, and the star foot shows from above, under the drink. For anyone who signs a list of classics it is a way of setting the serve apart while leaving the spec alone.

230ml in a conical bowl
The V-shaped bowl is the least forgiving shape on a tray: the liquid climbs towards a wide rim. 230ml gives the margin. A strained cocktail stops well below the rim, and the waiter crosses the room without slowing down. The 8.2cm foot under a 10.6cm rim keeps the glass stable, and 226g makes it feel steady on the table.
Washing and durability
The maker declares the glass dishwasher safe and resistant to breakage and scratches, for professional use. At 17.5cm tall it fits racks for stem glasses. The stem is the part to look after when loading and unloading.
Six glasses per pack
Six glasses cover a table. A list with three or four drinks served in the Berlin martini glass runs on four packs, plus the reserve. The range is in the maker’s current catalogue, and the replacement is the same glass.
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.
In the same relief there are the 490ml highball glass, the 315ml Universal, the 300ml whisky glass, the 805ml balloon glass. The other coupes are in the cocktail coupes category.
At home
At home the Berlin martini glass is the one for a Martini stirred in the mixing glass and poured cold: six matching glasses for the evening you make cocktails for friends.
