LSA International

LSA International has been hand-blowing glass since 1967, with every piece shaped by a team of European master glassblowers. The collections run from champagne flutes and decanters to sculptural vases and lanterns, each finished with subtle variations that mark them as mouth-blown.

Each piece is shaped on the end of a blowing iron by a skilled glassblower rather than pressed in a mould, which gives LSA's glass its characteristic lightness and variation. Small differences in thickness or finish are signs of the handmade process.

Hand-washing in warm soapy water is kindest to fine glass, with a soft cloth for drying. Avoid stacking tumblers or storing them upside down on wooden shelves, both of which can cause tiny stress fractures over time.

For dinner parties, the Wine Culture range offers a full set of glasses calibrated to different varietals, while the Moya vases and carafes make sculptural centrepieces. The decanter collection covers everything from whisky to everyday wine.

All gift sets arrive in LSA's branded packaging, designed to present well straight out of the bag. The pieces are cushioned for transit, and the boxes double as long-term storage if the glasses are only brought out for occasions.
