The Firenze plastic whisky glasses in two lines
The Firenze DOF is a 325ml old fashioned in SAN, its wall worked like cut crystal: fans and diamonds on the lower half. It is sold in packs of six. Goldplast declares it unbreakable and washable up to 100 times in the dishwasher.
The glass is 9cm tall, with an 8.5cm rim and a 7.5cm base. It weighs 82.3g, more than an ordinary plastic tumbler: you feel it in the hand.
Who plastic whisky glasses are for
For venues that serve aperitivi and spirits outdoors: the Negroni on the terrace, the amaro after dinner in the garden, a short spritz by the pool. These are the places where a glass tumbler that falls takes a whole table’s service with it.
For caterers and events with guests standing, where a short glass is the easiest to hold together with a small plate.
At home they are the plastic tumblers for the garden and for dinners outside, when the glass ones stay indoors.
The design of the Firenze range
The Firenze range takes the cut of crystal tumblers: a fan at the centre of each face and a net of diamonds below. The upper half stays smooth. The base is thick and solid, and keeps the glass steady even on a small outdoor table.
With ice and a coloured drink, the cut breaks up the light: even up close the glass looks like worked glass.
SAN
SAN is the material of clear plastic tumblers. For the Firenze range Goldplast declares up to 100 cycles in the dishwasher, from -10 to +100°C, fridge safe. It does not go in the microwave or the oven.
Goldplast declares the glass compliant with the European regulations on materials in contact with food (Regulation (EU) 1935/2004 and 10/2011), suitable for all food types and for repeated use.

325ml
325ml is the brim-full capacity. A 90ml Negroni over two cubes fits with plenty of room, a whisky on ice stays at half, a 200ml juice reaches three quarters. It is the size of the classic old fashioned, a little lower and wider than the double.
The pack of six
The glasses are counted in packs: four are 24 glasses. Each glass comes in its own bag, six bags to a carton: the carton is the pack you buy. A reorder is the same item with the same code.
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.
Care
In the dishwasher, as the maker indicates. No microwave and no oven. By hand, a soft sponge keeps the wall clear.
