The Etoile Collection is the result of a joint collaboration between Italesse and the Maitres Cuisiniers de France. Mouth blown, the original Etoile range was too expensive for general restaurant and home use so the Maitres Cuisiniers de France approached Italesse asking if they could take the perfect attributes of the Etoile glasses into a more mass produced environment without compromising the design.The mission was certainly not easy especially given the extremely high demands and expectations of the French masters. Prototype after prototype was developed, continuously fine-tuning the process until it was concluded with the hallmark Italesse result: aesthetics combined with functionality. A beautiful and reliable stem glass that is both durable yet light to hold has been created. The shape and features are ideal for wine tasting and, importantly, suitable for all types of wine.
