The Luigi Bormioli Top Class Double Old Fashioned glass is a lead-free crystal tumbler designed for spirits and cocktail service in commercial bar and restaurant environments. Produced in Italy, the range is made from SON.hyx crystal, a proprietary glass composition that gives the material its clarity and resistance to the kind of mechanical stress that glassware routinely encounters in a busy service setting.
In practice, crystal glassware of this type performs well where presentation matters — spirits bars, hotel lounges, fine dining, and mid- to upper-casual restaurant operations. The clarity of SON.hyx crystal is noticeably higher than standard soda-lime glassware, which does make a difference when guests are handling the glass under ambient or atmospheric lighting. The wall thickness is kept fine without sacrificing durability, which strikes a reasonable balance for service environments where glassware is handled at volume.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical considerations are:
- Dishwasher safe and rated to maintain clarity for over 4,000 wash cycles
- Lead-free crystal — no special handling or restriction requirements
- Supplied in a pack of 24, which suits initial stocking or like-for-like replacement
- Crystal construction offers improved chip resistance compared to standard glass
- Lightweight profile reduces fatigue during high-volume service periods
A pack of 24 is a practical quantity for most bar operations, though higher-volume venues running multiple sittings or large cocktail programmes may need to assess par levels carefully. Luigi Bormioli produce this range in a number of formats, so if a different capacity or glass style is needed for your operation, alternatives are available within the collection.
If you are specifying glassware across a full bar or restaurant fitout and want to talk through quantities or suitable pairings with other ranges, the team is happy to help.
