These crystal glasses are also known as snifters, brandy bowls or even balloons are perfect for dark spirits such as brandy or cognac. Purpose-built for these spirits, the wide mid bowl allows aromas to evaporate from the surface of your drink whilst the narrower mouth stops the aromas from escaping away allowing you to savour them when you take a drink. The bowl also sits comfortably in your hand allowing you to warm the drink helping to release the aromas. The 'Claudia' collection is vintage style crystal featuring a ball stem with an undecorated bowl, a homage to the Victorian and Edwardian eras but without the etching and patterns of that period, instead, the bowl is smooth and undecorated for a more refreshed design.
