The Timeless old fashioned glass in two lines
The Timeless old fashioned is a 360ml glass in Luxion crystal with vertical fluting, 92mm tall, in packs of six. It has the most restrained pattern in the category and the most versatile size: the one a venue chooses when it wants a single model for the whole service.
Who it is for
For venues that want a pattern that does not read as decoration. At some bars the glass has to be seen, at others it has to disappear behind the drink: fluting sits in between, adding body without declaring a style, so it suits a vintage bar as well as a contemporary one. For a venue that might change its look in two years, it is the choice that does not tie you down.
What vertical fluting really does
Two things, one visual and one practical. First, it lengthens the glass. On an old fashioned, which is short and wide by definition, vertical lines correct the proportion and make it look less squat, on the same principle as a vertical stripe on fabric. Second, and more important behind the bar, it gives grip. A 360ml glass full of ice is heavy, and when it is covered in condensation smooth glass slips through the fingers. The fluting gives the fingers a hold without the glass looking worked, and an uncertain grip is where almost every breakage on the floor starts.
What facets cannot do
Unlike a diamond cut, fluting does not depend on light. Facets work by refraction and stay dull in a dimly lit room; fluting works on the profile of the glass, so it reads even in low light. For a speakeasy, or any venue that keeps the lights deliberately low, it is the pattern that gives most for the price. Luxion adds resistance to washing, rated at more than 4,000 professional cycles without clouding.

Choose the Timeless old fashioned if
You need a size that covers the whole service and want a restrained glass that does not compete with the drink, without being entirely plain. For the absolute minimum there are undecorated models in the category; for a glass that stands out, there are the cut ones.
Why 360ml is the hotel size
A hotel that has to cover everything with one size chooses the double, and within the doubles it chooses the middle band. 360ml takes a large cube without cutting the pour and holds a slightly lengthened drink without looking empty: it is the compromise that lets you stock one model instead of two, which means fewer breakages leaving odd sets and less space taken in the back bar.
Care
Vertical fluting rinses much more cleanly than faceted cuts, because residue runs down the line instead of settling in a corner. Dishwasher safe with no special care, even after sweet drinks.
