The mason jar glass in two lines
This is a 400ml mason jar glass in decorated glass, with a handle and the shape of a preserving jar: 13.6cm high and 8cm wide, for long drinks served full of ice.
Who it is for
For venues with at least one drink on the menu that should be recognised from across the room. The jar works as a signal: when one goes past on a tray, the next table sees it and orders it. That is why bars that do a lot of aperitivo and summer trade keep a stock of them even when the rest of their glassware is classic.
400ml, and why the capacity matters
A long drink built in the glass takes up 200 to 250ml between spirit, juices and soda; the ice does the rest. With a 400ml capacity the ice goes in generously and reaches the rim, which is what keeps a mule or a tropical drink cold to the last sip instead of watering down halfway. In a 300ml glass the ice has to be rationed, and a drink with little ice melts sooner, not later.
The handle has a job
A glass full of ice turns icy on the outside and the hand warms it: holding it by the body passes heat to the drink and leaves fingerprints on the misted glass. With a handle the hand stays off the glass, the drink stays cold longer and the glass stays clean in photos, which for drinks people photograph is not a minor detail.

What goes in it
The Moscow Mule and the whole mule family, which gain from the jar because plenty of ice is part of the recipe. Tropical drinks with fruit and tall garnishes, because an 8cm mouth leaves room for mint, citrus and straws without the drink becoming unwieldy. Frozen drinks, where the thick wall helps hold the temperature. And long alcohol-free drinks, which in a glass like this stop looking like a second choice.
The decorated glass, and what the relief does
The relief on the surface does two things. The first is grip: a jar wet with condensation slips in the hand, and the ridges give purchase even to someone who picks it up without using the handle. The second is thickness: worked glass copes with temperature changes better than thin glass, so you can fill it with ice straight from the well. It is why this shape was made for preserving and not for the table.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
Care
It is glass, so the dishwasher is fine; just load the jars with space between them, because the handle is the part that knocks against other glasses and the knocks add up. The relief decoration holds on to thick syrups, so rinse straight after service rather than stacking dirty glasses to wait for the cycle.
