The Opera small cocktail goblet in two lines
The Opera is a 160ml goblet in engraved Luxion crystal, 17.6cm tall, in packs of six. It is the smallest of the whole category, and the contained size is a precise technical choice.
Who it is for
For a bar serving short drinks in a goblet that wants them to stay cold. A hundred and sixty millilitres is the capacity of a cocktail bowl served up: a finished stirred classic takes 90ml of it, a shaken one 120ml, so the glass fills well and the surface exposed to the air stays as small as it can be. With the stem keeping the hand away from the liquid, it is the combination that gives a short drink the longest life.
The stem, and what it is really for
On a goblet the stem is not decoration: it is the only way to stop the palm warming the contents. On a drink served with no ice, or with very little, the starting temperature is all the cocktail has, and from there it can only rise: every minute with the bowl in the hand shortens the drinking. Seventeen and a half centimetres of height on a 160ml bowl means a stem that is long in proportion, which is exactly what is needed.

Choose the Opera if
You serve short drinks in a goblet and want the size that keeps them cold. For spritzes and long aperitifs, where you need room for plenty of ice, the same category carries goblets of 490 and 530ml.
What a cobbler goblet means
It is the label the supplier gives every cocktail goblet, from 160 to 740ml. In bar language the Cobbler is a precise drink, served over crushed ice in a small bowl, and this format is genuinely the closest to that tradition. On the large sizes under the same label the name stays but the use is another thing entirely: what decides is the bowl, not the catalogue name.
Care
Luxion takes the dishwasher without clouding. On goblets the critical point is the load: they break at the stem, and almost always because two bowls touch during the cycle or because the bowl is grasped while the foot is still wedged in the rack. Rinse the engraving before the cycle after dense syrups.
Six goblets and how drinks up turn over
On short goblets the turnover is slow, because drinks served up are a smaller part of the list in almost every venue. Six Opera cover an ordinary night without ever running short, and at this size there is no point buying more until you have counted how often a goblet drink really leaves the bar. This is a list glass, not a volume glass.
FAQ
Is 160ml too little for a cocktail? No: a finished stirred classic takes 90ml, a shaken one 120ml. The goblet fills well and the drink stays cold.
Why is it called a cobbler goblet? It is the supplier’s label for the whole family of cocktail goblets. This size is the closest to a true Cobbler.
Does Luxion contain lead? No, it is lead-free eco crystal.
Does it work for a spritz? No, a spritz needs volume: look at the 490 or 530ml goblets.
Can it be chilled in the freezer? Yes, and it is the correct practice on drinks served without ice.
How is it held? By the stem, always: it is the only way not to warm the drink.
