- Design & Durability: The stylish, modern design elevates presentation without sacrificing everyday commercial resilience.
- Storage Space: The tapered shape doesn't allow for secure stacking, requiring more shelf space.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Northern Quarter Tavern in Manchester was looking to replace its collection of mismatched and frequently chipped highball glasses to better reflect its modern, industrial-chic interior.
"We needed something that looked the part but could survive a busy weekend. The Olympia Houston glasses are brilliant – they feel solid, look great with our cocktails, and we've noticed a real drop in breakages since we brought them in. Our staff and customers love them."
Samuel Jones – General Manager
The switch resulted in a 25% reduction in glassware replacement costs in the first two months and improved the overall aesthetic of their drink service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give new glasses a thorough wash before their first use to remove any residue from manufacturing or transit.
- When loading into a glasswasher, leave a little space between each glass to prevent them from knocking together.
- Give each glass a quick check for any imperfections or tiny cracks before putting it into service.
- As these glasses don't stack, make sure you've allocated enough dedicated shelf space for them.
Keeping It Going
- Use a quality glasswasher detergent and rinse aid to keep them sparkling and prevent cloudiness from hard water.
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by allowing glasses to cool to room temperature before filling with ice and cold liquids.
- Regularly inspect for chips and remove any damaged glasses from service straight away to ensure customer safety.
- For a five-star finish, polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove any watermarks before service.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Rolled Rim Means a Longer Life
Ever wondered what makes some glasses chip more easily than others? Often, it comes down to a small detail like a 'rolled rim'. This is where the lip of the glass is slightly thickened and rounded during manufacturing. Think of it like the reinforced edge on a piece of cardboard – it’s a simple change that adds a surprising amount of strength right where it's needed most.
In a busy bar, this reinforced rim protects the glass from small knocks against other glasses, beer taps, or the inside of a glasswasher. It's a tiny feature on these 410ml tumbler glasses that makes a huge difference, meaning they stay in service for longer and save you money on replacements.
