A set of four vintage tumblers from the celebrated Whitefriars “Glacier” range, designed in the 1960s by Geoffrey Baxter. Each glass carries the distinctive bark-textured surface that gives the series its sculptural presence.
Unlike the smooth “ice glass” styles of Riihimäki or Iittala, Whitefriars’ Glacier pattern has a sharper, more deeply moulded relief. The result is a tactile glass that catches the light and feels substantial in the hand.
