The Iittala Essence range of wine glasses, designed by Alfredo Haberli in 2001, introduced glassware to a new, idea-oriented design: there should be as few glasses as possible while at the same time providing suitable glasses for all styles of wine. Side by side they express a remarkable sense of balance, due to the stem and base being of the same size. Sensually pleasing to grasp and handle, Essence glasses make fine wines even more enjoyable.

The Essence tumbler is 10cm tall and has a capacity of 350ml. The bowl of these tumblers is the same basic shape as the bowls of the wine glasses, making them equally useful as stemless wine glasses.
