Alba Collection

Glassware with a crackled base adds texture to a table without imposing color on it. The Alba collection brings together water glasses and stemmed glasses, champagne flutes, footed bowls, the carafe, the ice bucket, the candy jar, the vase and the candle holder.

A decorative effect, not a flaw

The crackle effect sits at the base of each piece, while the top of the glass stays clear. It is part of the design, not a manufacturing accident: it is what catches the light when the table is set. The shapes, meanwhile, remain classic, which lets you place these glasses on a very colorful table without overloading it.

Setting the table, height by height

The stemmed glasses come in two similar heights, 21 cm and 22.5 cm, and the dimension appears in the product name. The water glasses and flutes extend the vertical line, while the footed bowls and the candy jar hold the center. The carafe and ice bucket handle the serving, and the candle holder completes the setting in the evening.

Warm water and a soft cloth

For a decorated piece, hand washing in warm, soapy water remains the safest option, with drying right afterward: this is what keeps the texture luminous. Avoid scouring powder and abrasive sponges, which dull the surface. For the candle holder, wait until the wax has cooled and remove it before wiping with the cloth.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the base of the glasses look cracked?

Because the crackle is a deliberate decorative effect, not an accident. It traces fine cracks across the entire base, and appears on every piece.

What is the difference between the two stemmed glasses?

Their height: 21 cm for one, 22.5 cm for the other. The dimension is stated in the product name, so you won't mix them up.

Can Alba be mixed with other tableware?

Yes, that is the very spirit of the collection: the crackled base and simple shapes pair as well with colorful plates as with plain stoneware.
