Libbey 1690 – 16oz Altitude Tall Beer Glass
Product Description
Soar to new heights in your beverage service with the help of the Libbey 1690 Altitude 16 oz. pilsner glass! Tall, sleek, and slender, the contemporary, vertical design and thick sham of this glass create the unmistakable look of a traditional pilsner. The conical design of this glass maintains the head, while the narrow shape enhances the aroma and taste of each beer. Customers will appreciate the difference as you use the proper glass to serve them a cool, refreshing beer.
This elongated glass highlights the bubbles and carbonated fizz of your more full-headed beers, particularly light ales, wheat ales, pale lagers, pilsner, and kolsch styles. Its crystal clear clarity perfectly frames the color of your patrons’ chosen drafts, from golden amber to deep, deep brown.

Pour Lines on Drinking Glasses
A pour line is a subtle printed horizontal mark on the side of drinking glasses, indicating a specific fill level (often for portion control, like 5 oz or 6 oz in wine glasses). Available in black or white for visibility.
Key Notes
- Placed as close as possible to the requested capacity for guidance.
- Not guaranteed exact: Due to natural variations in handcrafted or mass-produced glassware, actual volume to the line may vary slightly from glass to glass.
- Often considered novelty items, as they're more decorative or guidance than precisely measured (unlike certified commercial scientific measuring glass containers).
Metallic Halos on Drinking Glasses
A metallic halo (also called a halo band or rim banding) is a decorative technique used on premium glassware, where precious metal inks — typically gold or platinum (appears and often referred to as silver) — are applied to the lip or rim of the glass. This creates a luxurious, shimmering accent that elevates the look of drinking glasses, wine stems, tumblers, or highballs, often seen in high-end or custom collections for an elegant touch during entertaining.
Key Features
- It adds a sophisticated, metallic sheen that catches the light.
- Manufacturers apply it by hand-painting or firing the metal onto the glass for a fused, durable finish (though not indestructible).
Care Limitations
Glassware with metallic halos generally requires careful handling to preserve the decoration:
- Handwashing is strongly recommended — Use warm (not hot) water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently clean the rim to avoid abrasion, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a lint-free towel to prevent water spots or damage.
- Not dishwasher safe — High heat, harsh detergents, abrasive action, and prolonged exposure can cause the metallic halo to fade, chip, wear off, or discolor over time. Many retailers and manufacturers explicitly label these items as "hand wash only" to maintain the premium appearance.
If your glasses already show wear on the halo, it's common with frequent use — unfortunately, it's difficult to restore professionally without risking food safety. For everyday durability, consider plain glassware; for special occasions, metallic halo pieces offer that upscale vibe with proper gentle care!
