The Elysia old fashioned glass in two lines
The Elysia old fashioned is a 360ml glass with vertical fluting and a minimal design, in packs of four. It is the middle size of the double old fashioned: wide enough for a large cube, not so wide that a short pour of spirit looks lost.
Who it is for
For bars looking for the format that works for everything. It is not a fallback: in a varied service, one model that covers classics on ice, spirits and lightly lengthened drinks is worth more than two specialist formats, because it halves the breakages that leave sets incomplete and the shelf space it takes.
Why 360ml is the all-rounder
A 300ml old fashioned specialises in short spirits, where the empty space above the liquid gathers the aroma; a 430ml one specialises in lengthened drinks and ice spheres. At 360ml both are served perfectly acceptably, which is why this range sells best in the category. It is the same reasoning that leads a hotel to choose the double as its single format: the short pour does not look lost, the longer cocktail fits, and neither needs a dedicated glass.
Fluting, the finish that does not tie you down
It is the most neutral pattern available: it adds grip without declaring a style, so the glass sits as well on a vintage bar as on a contemporary one. For a venue that might change its look, it is the choice that keeps your options open. It also reads in a room with low lighting, where faceted cuts stay dull because they work by refraction and need a direct light source. And when the glass is wet, the vertical lines give the hold that smooth glass does not.

Choose the Elysia old fashioned if
You want one model that covers the whole service. If you have a signature drink that deserves its own glass, specialise there with a more distinctive piece and keep this one as the support format.
Four glasses: who they suit
A short list, home use, and bars that want to try the size before buying twelve. For volume service, look at the packs of six and twelve, where replacement is covered and you are not caught short when one breaks halfway through the evening.
Care
Dishwasher safe, no precautions needed. Vertical fluting does not hold residue, because the liquid runs down the line instead of settling in a corner of the pattern: after plain glass, it is the easiest finish to keep clean.
FAQ
Does the Elysia work as the only old fashioned glass in a venue? Yes, 360ml is the most versatile size in the category: it handles classics on ice, spirits and short lengthened drinks.
Will a single 5cm cube fit? Yes, with enough room for the pour.
How does it differ from the 440ml Belfast? In capacity and use: the 440ml is designed for ice spheres and lengthened drinks, the 360ml for general use.
Does the Elysia come in packs of six? This item comes in packs of four. The category has models of a similar size in packs of six and twelve, if you need a larger set.
Does the fluting make the grip more secure? Yes, and it is the main reason fluting is preferred to a smooth wall on a service glass: when wet, the Elysia does not slip.
Does it suit neat spirits? Yes, although for tasting alone at room temperature a 300ml glass concentrates the aroma better.
