2 Le Verre Wine Glasses

Fifty years ago, Denise Larcombe imagined a ‘fantasy’ project: a wineglass with a pressed amber stem and a hand-blown clear cup, a design that could not be manufactured at Crown Corning, Australia’s largest glass producer at the time.

To celebrate the opening of Powerhouse Parramatta, Maison Balzac has collaborated with Denise, one of Australia’s pre-eminent industrial designers to finally bring Le Verre to life. Unearthed from the museum’s collection of over 500,000 objects, the project brings together generations of Australian glass design—a pairing worth raising a glass to.

Colour: Clear, Amber

Made from 100% Borosilicate glass.

Our glassware is hand blown, and as a result slight variances in shape, size and colour may occur. These variances are part of the inherent charm of handmade products, and should not be considered a fault. Any irregularities that may occur will never deter from the overall aesthetic of the product, or hinder its ability to be used as intended.

Height 15.6cm, Diameter 7.8cm
Capacity approx. 340ml

Maison Balzac glassware is dishwasher safe, so you won’t have to think twice before using them.

If washing by hand, use a soft bristle brush or sponge.

Avoid using strong alkali soaps, as these may damage the glass.

Take care not to bump glassware against hard surfaces or other vessels during cleaning.

Avoid putting ice directly in the empty glass; add the liquid first, then add ice and enjoy.
