French Swirl Clear Glass Wine Glasses by Beatriz Ball - Set of 4

The clear French Swirl wine glasses have a spiral optic bowl and shaped stem that catch light in fine, moving lines. Their compact six-inch form makes the set of four useful for a smaller dinner table as well as a drinks setting. Clear glass allows the decorative form to work with a wide range of china and linen.

“I choose clear wine glasses when the cloth or plates already carry a strong pattern. The swirl supplies texture without another color, and the modest height keeps a small dinner setting comfortable rather than imposing.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Cuban-born designer Beatriz Ball began working with metal artisans outside Mexico City in 1991. Her signature metalware is still made one piece at a time in the brand’s own foundry in Mexico: sand casting gives the forms their character, and successive hand-polishing stages bring out the alloy’s silvery luster. More than twelve pairs of hands take part in the making. The appeal is that combination of expressive shape and useful purpose, with the warmth of handwork and none of silver’s routine tarnish polishing.

French Swirl brings the same affection for a lively table to handcrafted glass. Twisting forms and clear stems let light, color and the drink itself become part of the setting.
