When it may not be suitable

How to use

Use the glass for pouring beer, soft drinks, iced tea or mixed long drinks up to the stated 500 ml capacity. Handle by the body rather than rim to reduce fingerprints on the drinking edge.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 500 ml capacity matches your portion sizes and glassware lineup

• Check compatibility with your glasswasher or cleaning method
• Assess required quantity for commercial use to maintain stock rotation

Usage recommendations

For best results in commercial environments, group glasses by type and capacity, maintain a routine inspection for chips or cracks, and follow manufacturer or industry guidance for dishwasher temperatures and detergents to preserve clarity and strength.
