BELO Spritz & White Wine Glasses by Frederike Martens

BELO Spritz & White Wine Glasses by Frederike Martens — Mouth-blown white wine and spritz glasses, 13.5 fl oz each, sold in pairs in Clear, Smoke or Coffee.

Part of BELO, Frederike Martens’ mouth-blown glassware for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Martens sharpened the classic tulip glass into something more angular: a low, wide shoulder and a long, straight taper to the lip. Martens, born in 1987, trained in Halle, Germany, as an industrial designer focused on glass and ceramics, which makes BELO home ground for her. Her work looks for balance: quiet forms, lasting colors, materials allowed to show what they are.

BELO is blown by mouth, one piece at a time, into a tapered tulip silhouette: a wide, low shoulder that narrows to a fine cut-and-polished rim. Look closely and you may find a flow line or a pinpoint bubble, the signature of handmade glass. It comes in Clear and in two tints, Smoke (a smoky gray) and Coffee (a warm brown); on stemware the tint stops at the bowl, and stem and foot stay clear.

Why You’ll Love It

The thin, polished rim all but disappears as you drink. The generous bowl suits a chilled white, a rosé or a spritz with ice and a slice of orange. Tinted bowls throw warm or smoky light across the table. Mixed with clear glasses, they make a set look collected over time.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher safe, according to blomus. Our advice: give handmade glass room on the top rack or wash it by hand, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Because each piece is blown by hand, small flow lines, tiny bubbles and slight variations in thickness and tint are normal. Pairs well with the red wine stems, stemless glasses, table carafe.

Where It Shines

It looks at home on a summer terrace with a spritz, at a long dinner, on a bar cart beside the carafe, or raised for a toast.

Questions We Hear Most

Are BELO spritz glasses big enough for ice?

Yes. At 13.5 fl oz the bowl has room for ice, a pour and a slice of citrus.

What is the difference between Smoke and Coffee BELO spritz glasses?

Smoke is a cool, smoky gray tint; Coffee is a warm brown. On both, the stem and foot are clear.

Are BELO spritz glasses a good wedding or host gift?

Yes, a pair of mouth-blown glasses is a gift that gets used.

Why can the BELO spritz glasses vary slightly from piece to piece?

BELO is mouth-blown, so fine flow lines, tiny bubbles and small shifts in thickness or tint are normal and part of its character.

Will the BELO spritz glasses suit a modern table?

Yes. The angular tulip outline and thin rim sit well with minimalist, Scandinavian and contemporary settings, and soften a rustic one.

When will my BELO spritz glasses leave the warehouse?

In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It

Handmade glass with a sharp, modern outline: BELO makes an ordinary pour feel like an occasion. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
