The Berlin highball glass in two lines
The Berlin highball glass by Stölzle Lausitz is a tall, straight-sided 490ml tumbler, 16.8cm tall. The glass is lead-free crystal glass, machine-made. The wall carries the wave relief of the range, which climbs diagonally from base to rim. The maker declares it dishwasher safe. The pack holds six glasses.
Who it is for
For a bar that works with drinks built in the glass: gin and tonic, highballs, the Paloma, the spritz, alcohol-free serves with soda. 490ml takes ice to the rim, the spirit and almost a whole small bottle of tonic, without the bartender stopping to judge how much has to stay out. The maker lists the shape for cocktails and drinks with ice.
The relief also has a practical job. A smooth cylinder, wet with condensation, slips between the fingers. A wall in relief gives grip to the guest’s hand and to whoever carries six glasses on a tray at peak service.
The relief on the Berlin highball glass
The Berlin range is designed, according to the maker, on the spirit of 1920s Berlin: the dance halls, the hidden bars, the jazz. The declared reference is Art Deco, with clean lines and geometric outlines. On the glass it becomes a wave structure that runs round the cylinder.
At the bar the relief works with the light. A pale drink over ice picks up the reflections of the wall, and the glass stands apart from a plain tumbler even on a crowded shelf. For a venue it is a way of giving the long drinks list a character without changing the specs.

Washing and durability
The maker declares the glass dishwasher safe and resistant to breakage and scratches, suited to professional use in bars and restaurants. For a bar that makes a hundred long drinks a night it is the figure that counts: the glass comes out of the rack and goes back on the line, with no drying by hand. Limescale settles in the relief more than on a plain wall, so the rinse aid is kept correctly dosed.
Six per pack, and the whole range
Six highball glasses are a round for one table. A venue that serves its long drinks only in this glass starts from four or five packs and keeps stock for breakages. The range is in the maker’s current catalogue, so the replacement is the same glass.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.
The relief is the same across the range, and a whole list can be served in one design: the 315ml Universal, the 300ml whisky glass, the 805ml balloon glass, the 230ml cocktail glass. The other tall tumblers are in the tumbler glasses category.
At home
At home it is the highball glass for the evening gin and tonic: roomy, with a wall that holds well in the hand even when wet, and six of a kind for when there are guests.
