The Top Class old fashioned glass in two lines
The Top Class is a 370ml old fashioned glass with a straight, undecorated design, 88mm high and 79mm wide, sold in packs of six. It is a large double old fashioned, the top end of the category: the size made for plenty of ice and for drinks that stay in the hand a long time.
Who it is for
For bars serving drinks with a lot of ice in a low glass. The difference from a 300ml glass does not show on the shelf when the glass is empty; it shows when the glass is loaded. With a large cube and the pour, the 300ml reaches the rim while the 370ml still has room, and that room is what keeps the drink cold to the last sip.
More ice means less water, not more
It sounds backwards, but it holds, and it is the most useful thing to know when buying a rocks glass. Ice chills by giving up water, and how much it gives up depends on how fast it warms: a large mass warms slowly, a small one quickly. Filling a wide glass well therefore means less dilution, not more. An Old Fashioned in a 370ml glass full of ice finishes in better shape than one in a narrow glass with two cubes floating in it.
The plain design
On a glass meant for large ice, a plain wall is simply consistent. The ice already breaks the view through the glass; adding engraving would make the contents hard to read and the colour of the spirit would get lost among reflections. With a smooth wall the colour stays readable through the whole glass, and the cube shows as it should, which on a classic built in the glass is half the presentation.

Choose the Top Class old fashioned glass if
You serve with plenty of ice or a large cube, and want a glass that does not compete with the drink. For neat spirits at room temperature, a 300ml size concentrates the aroma better in the space above the liquid.
Six or twelve
A pack of six puts this glass halfway between the one you display and the one you serve in: enough to set up a station, not enough for a hotel. If you want the same plain profile in quantities for a full stock, the category also has packs of twelve, the usual buy for bars that restock by volume.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
Care
A smooth wall means washing without special care and nowhere for residue to settle. The one habit worth keeping is drying: limescale marks show straight away on a plain glass, so in areas with hard water use a rinse aid or give it a pass with a cloth.
FAQ
How much does the Top Class old fashioned glass hold? 370ml according to the name and the price list, 365ml according to the supplier’s technical sheet: the same measure, rounded differently.
Will an ice sphere fit? Yes, a 5cm sphere goes in and leaves room for the pour.
Why is there no decoration? Because it is designed for large ice: with a cube or a sphere in the glass, a pattern would make the contents hard to read.
Can it be stacked? No. The category has a dedicated stacking model that does not wedge together: the Top Class is a straight-sided glass for the bar counter.
Will it go through a commercial glass washer? Yes, and with no decoration to protect it is one of the easiest glasses in the category to look after.
If you are choosing between sizes, the old fashioned glass category compares capacities from 300 to 440ml and the use each one suits.
