ELEMENTS Black & Gold (Crystal) Martini (Y) [STÖLZLE] 240ml reinterprets one of the most recognisable shapes in cocktail culture. The conical Y-shaped bowl, matt black exterior and glossy gold interior turn the glass into a visual element of the serve rather than simply a vessel for the drink.

Part of the ELEMENTS collection by STÖLZLE Lausitz, this model is designed for cocktails served without ice and occasions where presentation matters – from a Martini or Espresso Martini in a cocktail bar to an evening with friends around a carefully designed home bar.

If you want a Martini glass that gets noticed before the cocktail is even tasted, ELEMENTS Black & Gold is designed for exactly this kind of presentation.

A Martini glass in the classic Y shape

The conical bowl with its long stem is one of the classic images associated with cocktail culture. The stem allows the glass to be held without direct contact with the area containing the drink, while the open bowl provides space for aroma and simple garnishes such as an olive, lemon twist or other decorative elements.

With a capacity of 240ml, ELEMENTS provides enough room for the cocktail and garnish while retaining the elegant proportions expected from a Martini glass.

Which cocktails is it suitable for?

It is particularly well suited to cocktails chilled during preparation and then served without ice in the glass:

• Dry Martini;
• Vodka Martini;
• Espresso Martini;
• Cosmopolitan;
• Gibson;
• classic cocktails served “up”;
• signature cocktails;
• premium creations where presentation is part of the experience.

For a Manhattan and other cocktails traditionally presented in a more rounded glass, it can also be used, although the choice between a Martini Y, coupe or Nick & Nora also depends on the desired style of presentation.

Why is it particularly interesting for Espresso Martini?

Espresso Martini is one of those cocktails where visual presentation plays an important role. The foam and characteristic garnish are viewed from above – exactly where the gold interior of the ELEMENTS glass becomes most visible.

The contrast between black, gold and the dark crema of the cocktail can create a completely different presentation from that of a conventional clear Martini glass.

If Espresso Martini is an important drink on your cocktail menu or one of your favourites at home, this model offers a particularly distinctive way to serve it.

What is the difference between a Martini glass and a coupe?

Both are frequently used for cocktails served without ice, but they create a different visual experience.

The Martini (Y) glass has a conical bowl with strong geometric lines and an immediately recognisable silhouette. It is closely associated with Martini and the classic aesthetics of cocktail culture.

The coupe has a more rounded bowl and creates a softer presentation. It is widely used for cocktails and has also traditionally been associated with Champagne service.

If you want the iconic shape of a Martini glass, choose the Y model. If you prefer a more rounded and versatile bowl, the ELEMENTS Cocktail / Champagne 230ml coupe may be the better alternative.

Black & Gold – when the glass becomes part of the cocktail

Most Martini glasses are transparent. This is ideal when the colour of the cocktail needs to remain completely visible.

ELEMENTS Black & Gold aims for a different effect. The matt black exterior and glossy gold interior turn the glass itself into a component of the presentation.

Viewed from the side, the black exterior creates an elegant, dramatic silhouette. Viewed from above, the gold interior becomes visible around the cocktail and can create striking contrasts with foam, garnish and the colour of the drink.

It is not a glass designed to disappear into the background. It is chosen precisely when you want it to be noticed.

Is it suitable for home use?

Yes. ELEMENTS Black & Gold should not be considered exclusively a glass for bars and restaurants.

A set of 6 Martini glasses can become one of the focal points of a home bar and a striking choice when preparing cocktails for friends or guests.

It can be used for dinner for two, cocktail nights, birthdays, New Year's Eve or simply when you want a Martini or Espresso Martini prepared at home to have a presentation comparable to the experience of a premium cocktail bar.

If you enjoy setting a beautiful table and serving drinks in glasses you are proud to put in front of your guests, ELEMENTS is just as relevant at home as it is in professional hospitality.

Is it worth choosing for a home bar?

If you rarely make cocktails and are looking for one universal glass for many different drinks, there are more practical and affordable options.

If Martini, Espresso Martini, Cosmopolitan and other cocktails served without ice regularly appear during your evenings, however, a dedicated set can change both the presentation and the ritual of serving them.

ELEMENTS Black & Gold is particularly suitable for a home bar where the design of the objects matters just as much as the selection of drinks.

Who is this glass for?

It is a particularly good choice if you:

• are looking for a black and gold Martini glass;
• want cocktail glasses that are rarer and more distinctive than conventional clear models;
• are creating a premium home bar;
• regularly serve Martini, Espresso Martini or Cosmopolitan;
• run a cocktail bar, lounge, restaurant or hotel with a strong visual identity;
• need distinctive glassware for signature cocktails;
• want the presentation of the drink to be memorable.

Who is it NOT the best choice for?

If your main priority is the lowest possible price, a conventional clear Martini glass will generally be the more practical option.

Similarly, if it is essential that guests can see the full colour of the cocktail through the sides of the glass, transparent crystal is the more appropriate choice.

ELEMENTS is intended for those willing to give up the neutrality of a conventional glass in exchange for a much more expressive design.

For cocktail bars, restaurants and premium hotels

In professional hospitality, glassware can become part of a cocktail's identity. An Espresso Martini or signature cocktail served in an easily recognisable Black & Gold glass can visually distinguish the drink from presentations using conventional clear glassware.

ELEMENTS Martini is suitable for cocktail bars, lounges, rooftop bars, restaurants, hotels, events and venues where the visual experience forms part of the premium positioning.

Its distinctive appearance also makes it interesting for cocktail photography, visual menus and drinks created for strong social-media presentation.

Why is it sold in multiples of 6 pieces?

The price is displayed per piece, while the product is sold in multiples of 6 pieces.

For home use, six glasses form a complete set for evenings with friends and cocktails served to guests. For HoReCa customers, the six-piece format provides a practical quantity for adding to or replacing professional glassware inventory.

Six ELEMENTS Martini glasses presented together also create a much stronger visual identity than a single statement glass used in isolation.

Complete the ELEMENTS Black & Gold collection

The Martini glass is part of a Black & Gold family that makes it possible to maintain the same visual concept across different types of drinks:

• ELEMENTS Black & Gold Cocktail / Champagne 230ml – coupe for cocktails served without ice, Champagne coupe service and creative presentations;
• ELEMENTS Black & Gold Martini (Y) 240ml – the iconic conical shape for Martini, Espresso Martini and other cocktails served “up”;
• ELEMENTS Black & Gold Tumbler 465ml – for cocktails, long drinks and stemless serves.

For a restaurant, cocktail bar or home bar, combining these shapes makes it possible to create a coherent collection without using the same type of glass for every drink.

How should the Black & Gold finish be cared for?

The decorative finish requires more careful handling than conventional clear crystal glassware.

We do not recommend cleaning it in a dishwasher. To protect the matt black exterior and gold interior, gentle hand washing is recommended without abrasive sponges or hard objects that could scratch the surface.

When stored, the decorative surfaces should be prevented from rubbing against other glasses or hard objects.
