The new lightness
Stölzle Lausitz has created a stemware series that is made by machine but with the characteristics and aesthetics of mouth-blown glass. The STARlight series offers lightness and high-end appeal, from the distinguished German manufacturer
Although it has only just begun, STARlight is already a success story for Stölzle Lausitz – the stemware series combines everything that distinguishes the German glass manufacturer: a gracefully drawn slim stem, a gentle thin walled bowl and a timeless design.
Machine glass manufacturers have long been trying to match the aesthetics
and quality of mouth-blown glassware. A first step in this direction was the drawn stem, which Stölzle Lausitz has mastered to perfection. The seamless transition between goblet and stem and the seamless stem itself are key features of almost all Stölzle Lausitz’s glass series. Therefore, it was only logical for the traditional glass manufacturer to tackle the next step: the thickness of the glass.
“Mouth-blown glasses are characterised precisely by their lightness due to optimal glass distribution. Achieving this was a long process, but with STARlight we have done it. We thus clearly blur the line between mouthblown glass and machine glass,” explains Stölzle Lausitz’s marketing manager Saskia Schimann. “The stem has a diameter that is about ten per cent smaller than that of conventional machine-made glasses. And the goblet also has a noticeably thinner wall thickness compared to other glasses from machine production.”
STARlight is a pure stem glass series and includes a burgundy, Bordeaux, red wine and white wine glass as well as a Champagne flute. Thanks to its rather restrained timeless design, the series can be combined well and is therefore suitable for many areas. Think high-end gastronomy, 5-star hotels and wine bars. WineBank, a private club for wine lovers with locations in Europe and the USA, is now equipping all its new wine clubs with STARlight.
And the end customers also appreciate Stölzle Lausitz’s premium series very much, ensuring hgh quality wines will feel at home.
