We are celebrating this 30th anniversary with Intermezzo Air, a new glass series featuring a platinum-gilded base and a translucent drop in tribute to the clarity of the crystal glass.

Air is one of the elements of glass — that and the tradition of decorating glass with air bubbles were my inspiration as I designed the Intermezzo Air anniversary glass.
