The double martini glass in two lines
This is a double bowl martini glass holding 240ml, 15.5cm tall and 9.5cm across, in packs of six. The twin structure is the feature that separates it from an ordinary cone of the same capacity.
Who it is for
For a bar that wants a bowl noticed for its construction rather than its decoration. In a category where almost every model differs by cutting and engraving, a piece that plays on structure takes another route: it reads from across the room, it does not compete with the colour of the drink, and it has no relief for residue to sit in.
Weight, and why it counts on a stem
On a stemmed glass the weight is shared between base and bowl, and the proportion decides the stability. A heavy base lowers the centre of gravity and makes the glass harder to tip, which on a V shape, notoriously unstable, is a real gain. It is also why a bowl with weight in the hand feels like quality: it is not simply more material, it is different behaviour on the table. The 0.77kg a piece declared by the supplier goes in that direction.

Choose the double martini glass if
You want a piece that is recognisable without decoration. If you are after the most practical bowl for table service, the shapes with an inward turning rim are still the ones that spill least.
The twin structure and cleaning
On this glass the thing to watch is not the decoration, which is not there, but the drainage. A twin structure can hold a few drops at the joins, and water that dries on its own leaves marks more visible than on a plain bowl. Turning it over at the end of the cycle and letting it drain a few minutes longer before putting it away is enough.
Care
Dishwasher with the load well spaced, as with every stemmed bowl. Check that the water has drained fully before the glasses go away, so no marks are left between the walls.
FAQ
What is a double martini glass? A bowl where the structure is doubled instead of decorated: it stands out by construction and not by engraving.
What does it weigh? The supplier declares 0.77kg a glass, which fits a twin structure.
Is it stable on the table? The extra weight lowers the centre of gravity, which on a V shape helps.
Does it have any decoration? No, it stands out by construction: it is the alternative to cut decoration.
How much drink fits? A shaken cocktail served up, 100 to 140ml, fills it to around half.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
