Raising a toast to Christmas with new festive-themed wine glasses from Lolita

Feeling positively festive in time for the Christmas season, Enesco has unveiled a range of new yuletide wine glasses from Lolita, perfect for a mulled wine to help warm the cockles when the weather outside is frightful…

Raising a toast to the festive season and new into the Lolita collection is Let’s Get Nuts. A wine glass decorated in the style of a traditional nutcracker, the base of the glass features a beautiful black and gold design, with the head of the glass using rich blue, red and gold tones. A friendly face, the glass is then finished with the features of soldier, complete with bright red nose and black moustache.

Next up into the new collection is Lolita’s Gingerbread Wonderland Wine Glass. Featuring the warm tones of the season, this glass is sure to help lift the spirits and spread some festive cheer. The base of the glass is decorated to look like the body of a gingerbread man, with intricate snowflake details adorning the stem. The head of the glass depicts a traditional gingerbread house, with decorative white icing details and brightly coloured sweeties for roof tiles.

Lastly into the collection is I’ll Be Home – a thoroughly festive wine glass capturing the fun and frivolity of the season. Using rich tones of green, red and gold, the head of the glass reads ‘Happy Holidays’, with the words featured in a beautiful shade of green and designed to form the shape of a Christmas tree. Let’s Get Nuts, Gingerbread Wonderland Wine Glass and I’ll Be Home measure 22.5cm tall and retail with an SRP of £19.95.

Each wine glass from Lolita is wonderfully exclusive — no two glasses are identical, making them a truly thoughtful and unique gift. Every Lolita glass begins life as a sketch drawn by an artist. The glasses are then artisan blown using traditional techniques and are hand-crafted, rather than being machine made, as mass-produced glasses on the market are. As all of the glasses are made using this method, very slight variations can occur in the thickness of the rim or the weight of the product — all adding to the charm that is a Lolita wine glass.

The beautiful designs are then achieved by applying multiple individual layers of paint directly onto the glass, requiring separate firings for each application. Depending on the intricacy of the design, this can sometimes require up to thirty-five different firings. In addition, paint is sometimes applied over word decals and on the base of the glass, with up to 100 crystals hand-glued to each product.

The production of Lolita glasses is a highly laborious process that is all done lovingly by hand, creating the perfect present for buyers to shower their loved ones with a truly unique and beautiful gift that’s as special as the intended receiver.

Let’s Get Nuts, Gingerbread Wonderland, and I’ll Be Home Wine Glasses along with other items from Lolita are available to purchase from Enesco.
