The Melodia 210ml goblet in two lines
A 210ml goblet with diamond cut worked on both the bowl and the stem, sold in packs of six. The decoration running down to the foot is what separates it from the rest of the category.
Who it is for
For anyone after a goblet that reads even when it is empty. On a laid table, or on an open shelf, a cut stem catches the light at a point where other goblets have nothing: it works before the drink arrives, and in a well lit room it shows from across the floor.
The cut on the stem, and the practical part
Beyond the look, a worked stem does one concrete thing: it gives grip. A plain stem is cylindrical and slips between the fingers, especially when the hand is damp from condensation on the bowl, and the instinctive move becomes grabbing the bowl, which is exactly what the stem is there to prevent. A cut gives the fingers something to hold and invites you to take the glass where it should be taken. The catalogue sells that detail as decoration; in service it does a job.

Take the Melodia 210ml if
You want a cut glass and the bar is lit. In a very dark room the diamond cut gives back less than it promises, because it works by refraction and wants a source to strike it.
Two hundred and ten millilitres: the right proportion
A shaken drink finishing at 120 or 130ml fills a little over half the bowl, which is the proportion service treats as correct: the drink looks full and there is still a margin below the rim to carry it without tension. It is also the size that takes a cobbler with a little crushed ice, which is the use the family takes its name from.
The diamond cut and the light in the room
Anyone buying the Melodia 210ml for the way it looks should check the lighting before the catalogue. The facets work by refraction and need a direct source: under bar lighting the glass reads from across the room, in a deliberately dark room it gives back a fraction of what it promises. That is the test that decides whether this goblet is worth its price in your venue, and it holds for all cut glassware.
Care
Dishwasher with the rack spaced out, as with every stemmed glass. Diamond cut holds more residue than a smooth surface: with syrups and sweet liqueurs it pays to rinse before the cycle, and the stem wants the same attention, because the pattern collects whatever runs down from the bowl.
FAQ
Does the cut on the stem do anything? Yes, it gives grip: a plain stem slips with damp fingers, and the instinctive move becomes grabbing the bowl.
Does it work in a low-lit venue? Less than you would expect: diamond cut works by refraction and wants direct light.
How much does it hold? A shaken drink finishing at 120 to 130ml fills it a little over halfway.
Is it the same line as the 270ml Melodia? Yes, the same work in two different sizes.
Does the cut stem break more easily? No, the cut is shallow: the weak point stays the stem, as on any goblet.
Does it work for a spritz? No, that wants the 490ml or 530ml goblets.
Dishwasher safe? Yes, with the rack spaced out and a rinse before the cycle on sweet drinks.
