Bar Ouverture Water Glasses

The Riedel Restaurant Ouverture Water Glass (0480/01) is part of the Ouverture Restaurant range, Riedel's utilitarian update to the consumer Ouverture collection designed specifically for restaurateurs. At 330ml with an 80mm diameter and 80mm height, the Water Glass is a low-profile, near-square-format tumbler built for efficient water service, easy handling in high-volume environments, and straightforward storage and racking.

The Ouverture Restaurant range's design principle is straightforward: sturdy, slightly cropped proportions that make for more efficient serving and storing. This is not a glass that makes a dramatic statement; it is a glass that does its job reliably in professional service without requiring special attention. Machine-made in lead-free crystal, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, sold in sets of 12.

Key features:

Compact 80x80mm profile for efficient storage: The near-square format is exceptionally space-efficient in storage and racking, allowing more glasses per rack and per shelf than a taller format
Sturdy, durable construction: The Ouverture Restaurant range is designed for the handling demands of high-volume professional service
330ml correct water service capacity: Sufficient for comfortable water service without requiring excessive refills
From the Ouverture Restaurant utilitarian range: Designed specifically for restaurateurs: versatile, practical, efficient
Versatile for water, soft drinks, and juice
1,500-cycle dishwasher certification: EN 12875-1/2 certified

What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product

What is the Ouverture Restaurant range designed for?

The Ouverture Restaurant range is Riedel's practical, utilitarian barware collection designed for the working conditions of professional restaurant and bar service: high volume, efficient service, practical storage. The range includes water, whisky, and similar formats with sturdy construction and slightly cropped proportions that make them easier to serve from and store than taller, more fragile alternatives.

How does the Ouverture Water Glass compare to the Manhattan Double Old Fashioned?

Both are practical trade-format tumblers but designed for different contexts. The Manhattan Double Old Fashioned (0419/02) is 370ml at 97mm tall, proportioned for bar service and cocktail builds. The Ouverture Water Glass (0480/01) is 330ml at 80mm tall, proportioned specifically for table water service where a smaller, lower-profile format is more appropriate. The Ouverture format is more compact and square; the Manhattan format is slightly taller and more explicitly bar-oriented.

Is the Ouverture Water Glass suitable for cocktail service?

The compact 80x80mm format and 330ml capacity make it less suited to cocktail builds that require ice and volume. For water, soft drinks, and small juice service it is ideal. For cocktail service the Manhattan or Drink Specific ranges are more appropriate.

How many dishwasher cycles will this glass survive?

EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.

Utilitarian Excellence: The Ouverture Range in Professional Service

The Ouverture Restaurant range was created from a straightforward observation: that the consumer Ouverture collection, while excellent for its intended market, needed specific adaptations for the demands of professional service. Shorter stems reduce breakages during service. Sturdier construction survives the pace of high-volume operations. More compact proportions make storage and racking more efficient.

The Water Glass is the purest expression of that brief: a nearly square 80x80mm format that is as space-efficient as a tumbler can be while remaining visually coherent with the rest of the table setting. The 330ml capacity is correctly proportioned for water service: large enough for comfort between refills, small enough not to dominate a table setting where the wine and cocktail glasses are the focus.

For restaurant operations where the front-of-house glassware programme needs to be practical as well as presentable, the Ouverture Restaurant range is the honest, well-made professional option.

Storage: Highly space-efficient at 80mm height. The near-square format allows dense upright storage. Annual breakage rates for compact tumblers of this profile typically run 8-12%.

Breakage Planning: 8-12% annually — compact format and absence of a stem produce lower breakage than stemmed or taller equivalents.

Rest of the World

If your country is not listed - including the USA, Australia, and other destinations - this is most likely because couriers charge by volumetric weight: a combination of package size and weight that makes standard online rates impractical to calculate automatically.

Please call us on 01737 222682 with the details of your order and we will advise on shipping costs within 24 hours, then ask whether you would like to proceed.

Please note:

All overseas shipments are at your own risk. We recommend taking out appropriate transit insurance to cover any damage in transit.

Customs forms for all international packages declare the full value and a description of the contents. Any customs or import duties levied on arrival in your country are your responsibility. Your local customs office can provide further information.

Returns & Refunds

We hope your order arrives in perfect condition and that you love what you've chosen. If something isn't right - whether the item is unwanted, damaged, or develops a fault - we'll do our best to make the process as straightforward as possible.

You can reach us via our contact form or by calling 01737 222682. You'll be speaking to a member of our team based in our Surrey warehouse.

I want to return an unwanted item

Unwanted items can be returned for a no-quibble refund, provided they are in resaleable condition and in their original packaging. Our returns policy normally covers the 365 days following purchase - but if you're outside that window, get in touch and we'll do our best to help.

Packing your return:

Wrap or box items appropriately to prevent damage in transit.
Do not stick labels or tape directly to the product's branded packaging - a damaged box means we can no longer accept the return.
The easiest method is to reuse the outer packing material and box we originally sent your order in.

If the product is not in fully resaleable condition, or the branded box is damaged, we will apply our half-price replacement guarantee and refund you half the original purchase price.

Return postage: Customers are responsible for the cost of returning items. We recommend using a recorded or signed-for service so the parcel is insured and trackable.

Items remain your responsibility until they arrive with us.

Alternatively, you can purchase a Royal Mail returns label here, from our parent company, Art of Living Cookshop.

We create the label manually so it is linked to your original order, so please allow up to 48 hours for it to reach you by email.
