Across the collection, you’ll find capacities ranging from 9 oz to 19 oz, with retail-friendly case counts typically packed 10 to 24 per box. Style options include crystal-clear glassware, etched designs for extra grip and visual texture, colored finishes that stand out in dining rooms, and double-wall borosilicate pieces built to elevate hot-and-cold beverage presentation. Many styles are also in stock and ready to ship, making it easier to restock quickly or outfit a new program on schedule.

What this glassware range is built to do for your operation

When you’re choosing commercial glassware, the goal is to make service smoother while improving what guests see and feel. This assortment prioritizes:

• Presentation: clean silhouettes, bright clarity, and distinctive textures that make beverages look premium.
• Service efficiency: sizes that match common menu builds (water, soda, iced tea, house beverages), helping reduce repours and staff back-and-forth.
• Dishwasher-safe convenience: optimized for fast turnover in busy dish rooms.
• Durability-focused builds: options marketed as shatterproof (and more broadly, shatter-resistant) to help reduce breakage in high-traffic environments.
• Lead-free construction: a safety-forward choice for everyday drink service.
• Stackable designs: improved storage density, faster resetting, and less contact damage during transport and shelving.

The result: glassware that supports consistent pours, reduces replacement frequency through durability and better storage habits, and helps keep beverage service looking as intentional as your food program.

At-a-glance: sizes, finishes, and case packs

This collection spans several practical “sweet spot” sizes. Smaller tumblers support juice, water service, and short pours; mid-range sizes cover soda and refreshers; taller glasses bring height to iced tea, sparkling water, and signature non-alcoholic builds.

Because the case packs are designed for commercial buying patterns, you can scale up or standardize quickly—especially helpful for multi-station bars, banquet setups, and caterers who need clean counts for packing lists.

Meet the 22 styles: practical variety without overcomplicating ordering

Rather than forcing one “one-size-fits-all” glass, this lineup supports multiple beverage moments. Here are notable examples from the collection, showing how you can mix formats while keeping ordering straightforward:

Everyday beverage tumblers (clear)

• Sumi19 oz Beverage Glass (12 count): a larger format that suits high-ice builds, signature sodas, and refreshers that benefit from extra headroom.
• Sumi10 oz Small Beverage Glass (12 count): a compact choice for water service, juice, and portion-controlled beverages.
• Otto12 oz Beverage Glass (12 count): a versatile mid-size that can standardize soft drinks and casual table water.
• Elysia15 oz Drinking Glass (12 count): a balanced capacity that looks substantial without being oversized.

Textured / etched presentation

• Timeless15 oz Beverage Glass (etched, 12 count): an option that adds visual interest and a confident hand-feel—useful for busy dining rooms where grip matters.

Goblets for elevated water service

• Voglia Nude14 oz Water Goblet Glass (crystal, 12 count): a polished look for dining rooms aiming for an upgraded water moment.
• Vetri12 oz Water Goblet Glass (24 count): a high-quantity case pack that supports large dining rooms or catered events.
• Vetri14 oz Water Goblet Glass (24 count): a slightly larger goblet format with banquet-friendly pack sizing.

Tall iced tea formats

• Voglia Nude16 oz Iced Tea Glass (crystal, 12 count): height-forward presentation for iced tea and tall NA beverages.

Colored beverage glasses (Vetri series)

• Vetri16 oz Beverage Glass (clear, 24 count)
• Vetri16 oz Blue Beverage Glass (24 count)
• Vetri16 oz Gray Beverage Glass (24 count)

Color is a simple way to differentiate stations, reduce mistaken grab-and-go at service wells, or build a signature table look while keeping the same core size.

Double-wall borosilicate (Forma Professional series)

• Forma Professional10 oz Round Glass Beverage Glass (double wall, 10 count): a compact double-wall option that highlights layered drinks and supports hot-or-cold versatility.
• Forma Professional9 oz Glass Tumbler (double wall borosilicate, blue / gray / green, 12 count): a smaller, colorful set that can make espresso-tonic builds, juices, or NA cocktails look intentional.
• Forma Professional14 oz Glass Tumbler (double wall borosilicate, blue / gray / green, 12 count): a larger double-wall format that suits iced beverages and presentation-driven signature drinks.

Double-wall borosilicate styles are especially useful when you want a “floating” beverage effect and a cleaner guest experience with reduced exterior condensation.

How to choose the right capacities (9–19 oz) for your menu

Choosing glass sizes is one of the simplest ways to improve consistency and reduce waste. A clear size strategy also helps new team members execute faster.

9–10 oz: portion control and fast water resets

• Best for: water service in higher-end rooms, juice, smaller NA cocktails, shorter pours.
• Operational win: smaller capacity can help you standardize portions and reduce over-pouring.

12 oz: the versatile workhorse

• Best for: soft drinks, water, batch beverages, casual cocktails.
• Operational win: one core size can cover multiple menu items and simplify par calculations.

14–16 oz: guest-favorite refreshers and iced beverages

• Best for: iced tea, lemonade, iced coffee builds, sparkling water, larger sodas.
• Operational win: fewer refills during rush periods and a stronger perceived value for premium NA offerings.

19 oz: high-ice builds and standout signature drinks

• Best for: specialty sodas, large refreshers, beverages with garnish and high ice volume.
• Operational win: extra headspace protects presentation (and helps reduce slosh) during tray carry and table delivery.

Finish and style: clear vs etched vs colored vs double-wall

Glass finish is more than aesthetics. It can support speed, reduce handling issues, and reinforce brand identity.

Crystal-clear and clear glass

Clear glass keeps the drink as the hero—ideal for bright juices, sparkling water, citrus-forward mocktails, and anything with layered garnish. It also makes it easy for staff to spot issues quickly (like missing ice or incorrect fill level) before the drink hits the table.

Etched textures

Etched patterns add visual energy and can improve grip, which is helpful in high-volume service. For beverage programs with lots of condensation-heavy drinks, texture can also make glasses feel more secure in hand.

Colored glassware

Colored options (such as blue and gray finishes) help you create a distinctive tabletop look without changing glass shape. They’re also a practical way to differentiate beverage types or service zones—useful for banquets, catered events, and multi-concept venues.

Double-wall borosilicate

Double-wall construction creates an elevated “floating” presentation, and borosilicate glass is known for durability and thermal performance. This is a smart choice when you want a premium look for both hot and cold drinks, or when you want to reduce exterior condensation for a cleaner guest experience.

Service efficiency benefits that show up shift after shift

Commercial glassware earns its keep through small wins that compound over time. This collection is built around factors that support repeatable results:

Dishwasher-safe durability for fast turnover

In a fast-paced restaurant or bar, glassware spends a lot of time moving: table to dish pit, rack to shelf, shelf to station, station to tray. Dishwasher-safe pieces are essential for maintaining consistent sanitation while keeping the cycle moving.

Stackable designs for storage and breakage reduction

Stackable glassware helps you store more pieces in less space—especially valuable for bars with tight backbar storage or caterers packing for offsite events. Better stacking can also reduce contact breakage from overcrowded shelves.

Lead-free construction for everyday confidence

Lead-free glass is a practical standard for beverage programs focused on safety and peace of mind. It supports everyday use across water, sodas, and specialty beverages without adding extra complexity to training or purchasing.

Suggested glassware “sets” by venue type

If you’re building or refreshing a program, pairing a few complementary sizes typically delivers the best combination of speed and presentation.

Full-service restaurant (balanced, all-day)

• 12 oz as the primary all-purpose glass (soda and water).
• 14 oz water goblets to elevate dining-room water service.
• 16 oz tall glasses dedicated to iced tea and larger refreshers.

High-volume bar (speed and durability)

• 15–16 oz beverage glasses for consistent builds.
• Etched options for better grip and a signature look.
• Colored glassware to differentiate service wells or menu sections.

Catering and banquets (counting and packing efficiency)

• 24 count case packs for straightforward inventory planning.
• Stackable glassware for tighter storage and safer transport.
• 12–14 oz goblets for a polished water service at scale.

Quick decision checklist for ordering the right case counts

Because these glasses are commonly packed in 10–24 count boxes, it’s easy to match your order to service volume. Use this checklist to align purchasing with reality on the floor:

• Define your core glass: choose the one size that covers most NA beverages (often 12 oz to 16 oz).
• Add a tall specialty glass: dedicate 16 oz tall glasses to iced tea and tall builds to keep service consistent.
• Decide where you want “wow”: crystal goblets or double-wall borosilicate pieces create premium moments without changing your whole program.
• Plan for stations, not just seats: bars, service wells, patios, and banquets all need their own pars.
• Choose stackable when storage is tight: it’s one of the simplest ways to save space and protect glassware.

Why this 22-piece collection works: variety with operational discipline

This assortment is intentionally wide enough to meet different beverage needs—soda glasses, water goblets, iced tea glasses, and tall tumblers—while staying grounded in commercial realities like dishwasher-safe care, lead-free materials, durability-focused construction, and stackable storage.

From compact 9 oz double-wall borosilicate tumblers to roomy 19 oz beverage glasses, you can match glassware to your menu and workflow instead of forcing every drink into the same format. Add in retail-friendly 10–24 count case packs and the fact that many styles are ready to ship, and this lineup becomes a practical way to upgrade presentation while keeping service fast, consistent, and easy to manage.
