La Rochere - BALLON Large Stemmed Wine Glass 26cl

The La Rochère Ballon Large Stemmed Wine Glass 26cl is a traditional French glass inspired by early 20th-century Parisian bistros.

The clear finish highlights the smooth contours of the balloon shape, ensuring it works well with different table settings and styles.

This versatile glass is suitable for serving red wine, white wine, water, or other beverages. Its classic bistro-inspired form makes it a practical choice for everyday use while retaining a strong connection to French glassmaking tradition.
