Cocktail Martini Glass
The Martini glass was Richard’s biggest design challenge. Many martini glasses are shallow, oversized, and awkward to drink from. By refining the proportions to a steeper profile and a smaller diameter, this Y-shaped icon has become both striking and highly functional — a pleasure to drink from without spills. Now used by top mixologists worldwide, it sets a new benchmark for the classic martini glass.
Collection Story
Richard designed the Cocktail Collection in 2020, during the pandemic, when he found himself making far more cocktails at home and missing his favourite bars. He quickly realised that most cocktail glasses on the market weren’t designed by people who actually made cocktails — their shapes and capacities were often impractical.
So, he set out to design a collection of functionally perfect, beautifully light cocktail glasses, made by the finest glassblowers in the world. As always, he turned to experts — this time leading London mixologists — to ensure every shape, proportion, and capacity was absolutely spot-on.
The result is a collection inspired by the simple, elegant forms of late Victorian and Edwardian glassware — pieces Richard has long admired while scouring Portobello Road antiques markets. Just like those historic designs, each glass is mouth-blown, ultralight, and perfectly balanced — something only the most skilful craftspeople can achieve, and no machine can replicate.
Following the same logic as the Jancis Robinson Collection, every detail has been considered: the capacities match the cocktails exactly, the rims are gossamer-thin so they almost disappear when you sip, yet fractionally thicker than our wine glasses for added durability. This makes them both a joy to use at home and robust enough for busy bars.
Crafted in lead-free crystal, each piece is strong, dishwasher safe, and designed to perform night after night. These are glasses that elevate cocktails to their full potential — elegant, functional, and timeless.

Craftsmanship Story
Lead-Free crystal of this finesse and clarity can only be achieved using the traditional technique of mouth blowing. This precision and know-how has been practised and refined by craftspeople over centuries, making their talent impressive to witness and the crystal a delight to use.
Product Care
The Cocktail Collection has been designed with a gossamer thin rim, so as to experience as much of the cocktail as possible. Despite this, every piece is suitable for the dishwasher; indeed this would be our recommended method of cleaning so as to avoid unnecessary handling.
You should place the glassware on the top rack of the dishwasher making sure there is enough space between each piece. If you do need to wash the pieces by hand, we recommend that you fill the glasses halfway with hot soapy water and leave them to soak before being thoroughly, but gently rinsed. Be careful not to let the glasses touch the sink, rings or other washing up items as this can lead to chips or even breakages.
Use our large polishing cloth to gently polish the glasses should you need to.
