The Opera 230ml goblet in two lines
A 230ml goblet in Luxion crystal glass with engraving on the bowl, in packs of six. Two hundred and thirty millilitres is the centre of the short band, which is to say the size that covers more drinks on a varied list than any other.
Who it is for
For anyone after the goblet that works for everything. A drink served up fits and looks full, a cobbler with a little crushed ice fits, a short aperitif fits: it is not the optimum for any of the three, but it is acceptable for all of them, and on a varied service that is worth more than two specialised goblets doubling the lines on your shelf.
The engraving on the bowl, and where it stops
On this line the pattern stays on the bowl and does not run down the stem, unlike others in the same category. That choice has a practical consequence in washing: a plain stem rinses itself and does not collect what runs down from the bowl, which on a goblet used with syrups and fruit is where residue builds up most often. In exchange you lose the grip a worked stem would give.

Take the Opera 230ml goblet if
You want one short goblet for the whole list. If you have a signature drink served over crushed ice with a built garnish, a 270 or 300ml size gives it the room it asks for.
Luxion, and the number that counts
Luxion is lead-free crystal, and the maker rates it for over 4,000 professional washes without clouding. On a goblet that figure weighs more than on a tumbler, because the bowl is thin and the whole surface is exposed: ordinary glass, after a season of washing in hard water, loses clarity evenly, and on a stemmed glass meant for service in view that shows immediately.
One size or two
Anyone short of space keeps only this goblet and fills it differently depending on the drink: that is the choice that halves the lines and works eight times out of ten. Anyone with a signature drink served over crushed ice puts a 270 or 300ml size alongside it and keeps the 230ml for drinks served up. The rule is that two sizes justify themselves only when both go out at least a few times a night.
Care
Dishwasher without clouding. Loading is the critical moment for goblets: two bowls touching during the cycle chip, and the break almost always comes at the stem. With thick syrups it pays to rinse before the cycle, because the relief of the engraving holds them.
