Schott Zwiesel Basic Bar Motion 500 ml drinking glass is a clear, lead-free crystal glass engineered for daily use in bars, restaurants and at home. With a 500 ml capacity it is suitable for serving beer, long drinks, cocktails and water. Manufactured using Tritan® crystal technology, the glass combines optical clarity with improved chip resistance and is suitable for commercial dishwashers. The straight-sided design and stackable form support efficient storage and quick turnaround in busy service environments.

Advantages

The glass delivers stable performance under frequent use thanks to Tritan® crystal technology which enhances mechanical strength and maintains brilliance. Its 500 ml capacity accommodates full pours for beers or mixed drinks while the clear crystal surface presents beverages without color distortion. Dishwasher compatibility and a stackable shape make this model practical for venues that require durable, easy-to-maintain glassware.

Suitable for

• Serving beer, especially pints and tall pours
• Long drinks and highball cocktails
• Water service at tables or buffets
• Bars, cafés, restaurants and event catering
• Households needing robust everyday glassware

When it may not be suitable

This 500 ml straight glass is not designed for delicate stemware applications such as tasting flights or formal wine service where stemmed glasses are preferred. It may be larger than required for small portions or tasting samples, and its robust commercial focus favours function over decorative complexity.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 500 ml
• Material: lead-free crystal with Tritan® crystal technology
• Finish: clear, high optical clarity
• Shape: straight-sided, stackable design

How to use

Use the glass for direct pours of beer, mixed drinks and non-alcoholic beverages. When serving carbonated drinks, pour at an angle to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. After use, rinse briefly to remove residue before placing in a dishwasher; load stackable glasses carefully to avoid impact during mechanical washing. Allow glasses to dry naturally or use a low-heat drying cycle to maintain clarity.

• Confirm that a 500 ml capacity fits your portion sizes and serving style
• Ensure available storage supports stackable glassware dimensions
• Check dishwasher compatibility with your facility’s washing program
• Consider whether a straight, stemless style matches your service presentation

Usage recommendations

For consistent service, match this 500 ml glass with coasters or trays to reduce direct handling; wash with a mild detergent in commercial cycles and inspect regularly for chips to maintain safety and presentation standards.
