‘Polka’ Water Glass

Designed by the Vienna-based studio POLKA as part of Lobmeyr’s No. 280 drinking set. Each glass is mouth-blown at the Lobmeyr atelier in Austria, using the maker’s signature “muslin” crystal, remarkable for being both exceptionally thin and strong. Versatile by design, the glass moves easily from everyday use to more formal service. Its low, footed shape pairs particularly well with the ‘Garden of Paradise’ tumblers. Handwashing is recommended, though the glass is dishwasher safe on the most delicate cycle.

A family-run company for six generations, Vienna-based Lobmeyr first began offering its decorative crystal creations in 1823. From its introduction of the first electric chandelier to the Vienna Imperial Palace in 1883 to its iconic mouth-blown drinking glasses, the company’s innovative designs are rooted in two centuries of the highest quality craftsmanship. Lobmeyr remains dedicated to the avant-garde and has collaborated with legendary designers such as Adolph Loos, Josef Hoffmann and Ted Muehling. Lobmeyr pieces are held in the permanent collections of design museums across the globe.
