BELO Table Carafe by Frederike Martens for blomus

BELO Table Carafe by Frederike Martens for blomus — A mouth-blown 1.2 liter glass carafe with a glass lid, for water, juice or wine at the table.

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

The Design Story

Martens stretched the BELO taper into a vessel: a broad base for stability, a slim neck for the hand, and a small glass lid as the full stop on top. 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

It is a civilized way to put water on the table. The narrow neck gives a secure grip and the lid keeps the contents covered. It holds more than a standard wine bottle, so it also works as a simple decanter. With matching tumblers it makes a complete set.

Made for Real Life

blomus lists the clear BELO carafe as dishwasher safe. Our advice: wash tinted glass by hand, use a bottle brush for the base and dry the lid separately. 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 stemless glasses, spritz glasses, red wine stems.

Where It Shines

It looks at home at the center of a dinner table, on a nightstand, on a desk, or on a terrace table with a pair of tumblers.

Questions We Hear Most

Can the BELO table carafe be used for wine?

Yes. At 1.2 liters it takes a full 750 ml bottle with room to spare, so it works as a simple decanter.

Does the BELO table carafe fit in a fridge door?

It is 4.5" (11.5 cm) wide at the base and 10.2" tall; measure your door shelf first.

What glasses go with the BELO table carafe?

The BELO tumblers are the natural partner, and the stemmed glasses share the same tapered outline.

Why can the BELO table carafe 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 table carafe 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 table carafe 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.
