The Shinto mixing glass in two lines
This is the 700ml Shinto mixing glass, in glass with a diamond cut pattern: 11cm across, 16cm tall, weighing 600g.
Who it is for
For bartenders who stir in front of the guest and want a piece that shows well without taking up room. It is the standard size in the category, with a cut that makes it recognisable from across the room.
The cut gives grip
That is the practical reason behind a pattern that looks purely decorative. A mixing vessel always gets wet: condensation forms on the outside within ten seconds of starting to stir, and on smooth glass the holding hand starts to slip just as the spoon pushes. The relief on the Shinto mixing glass breaks up that continuous surface and gives back friction, which is why nearly all professional models are cut rather than smooth.

The second effect: light
Cut glass refracts rather than simply letting light through, so the ice turning inside is multiplied across the facets. For the guest on the other side of the bar, the movement shows more clearly, and since a stir lasts half a minute, that movement is the centre of the scene. The pattern does a job.
The thick base holds the cold
Most of the 600g on a 700ml vessel sits in the base, and not by chance. A mass of glass chilled by the ice stays cold and passes that temperature back to the liquid instead of taking it away, the opposite of a thin glass at room temperature. It is also why the Shinto mixing glass should live at the station and not in the warm cupboard above the glass washer: starting from a cool piece saves seconds of stirring.
700ml, and how to fill it
Ice up to two thirds of the height, ingredients after. At this capacity that leaves about 200ml of liquid, which is two stirred drinks or one generous one with room for the cubes to move. The right bar spoon is 30cm long: it reaches the bottom without the hand going into the liquid.
Care
Dishwasher safe, loaded with space around it: the thick base makes it heavy, and knocks against other pieces add up on the rim. The cut holds syrup residue more than a smooth surface, so rinse it straight after service instead of leaving it to wait for the cycle.
FAQ

Which bar spoon does it need? A 30cm one, which reaches the bottom without wetting the hand.
Is it dishwasher safe? Yes, but rinse it straight after thick syrups, because the cut holds them.
