Description
Zwiesel Glas Handmade represents the highest expression of glassmaking artistry—crafted by hand, rooted in tradition, and designed to honor the world’s finest wines. Since 1872, the Handmade collection has reflected a deep respect for time-honored craft, where skill is earned through patience, experience, and an uncompromising dedication to excellence.
Each Handmade piece is mouth-blown by master artisans whose expertise spans decades. A minimum of 15 years of training, including apprenticeship, is required to achieve master artisan status at Zwiesel Glas. This mastery is evident in every detail, from the precise shaping of molten crystal to the final refinement of form. Subtle variations are embraced as signatures of authenticity—quiet reminders that each glass is shaped by human hands and guided by generations of knowledge.
Crafted from Tritan® Crystal Glass, Zwiesel Glas Handmade achieves a rare balance of delicacy and durability. Renowned for its exceptional brilliance and clarity, Tritan® crystal allows wine to reveal its full color and character. Despite its fine, thin rims and long, graceful stems, the glass offers remarkable strength and resilience—engineered to withstand frequent use without sacrificing elegance. Tritan® Crystal Glass is also dishwasher safe, delivering lasting performance while maintaining its beauty over time. The result is a weightless, refined balance in hand, paired with durability that meets the demands of both connoisseurs and professionals.
Production takes place in Germany and Hungary using premium materials, including traditional birch wood molds that contribute to the precision and individuality of each piece. Certified environmentally friendly production practices reflect a thoughtful approach to craftsmanship—one that values responsibility alongside artistry.
Created for those who seek true distinction, Zwiesel Glas Handmade stands apart through its devotion to detail and reverence for ritual. Each glass is more than a vessel; it is an invitation to slow down, savor, and experience wine at its highest expression. From intimate tastings to meaningful celebrations, the Handmade collection brings intention, elegance, and authenticity to the table—representing a caliber of quality that exists in a class of its own.
