Borosilicate Glass: Why It Makes a Difference

Borosilicate glass stands apart from common soda-lime glass due to its superior resistance to thermal shock. You can transfer it directly from the refrigerator to a hot beverage without fear of breakage. It's also more impact-resistant than traditional glass, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The WD LifeStyle glasses in this line have a capacity of 250 ml, a versatile size suitable for both juices and cold drinks, as well as hot teas and infusions.

Available Decorations

The range covers a wide variety of designs, so each glass becomes instantly recognizable. Among the decorations available in L'Arcolaio's catalog, you'll find animal subjects — Toucan, Pelican, Parrot, Koala, Dolphin, Bee, Frog, Ladybug, Donkey, Blue Bear— and marine subjects such as Octopus and Starfish. Lighter designs like Heart, Chili Pepper, Orange, Strawberry, Bagare also available. Each decoration is printed on the glass and visually differentiates the pieces, which is also useful when serving multiple glasses together.

Complementary Sets and Formats

For those who want to furnish their table with more coordinated pieces, WD LifeStyle also offers the WD lifestyle glass setMonterey, a 6-piece borosilicate glass set, a practical solution for meals with company. For cocktail lovers, the WD lifestyle cocktail glassin 500 ml borosilicate glass with the word Mojito completes the line with a larger capacity. You can find the brand's entire offering on the WD LifeStyle page on L'Arcolaio.

How to Choose the Right Glass

For everyday family use

If you're looking for glasses to set on a table with children or for daily use, the 250 ml size is perfect: large enough for juices and drinks, but not too bulky. You can mix and match different designs for each family member — everyone immediately recognizes their own glass without labels or place cards.

As an original gift or party favor

Each glass comes individually packaged in its own box, so it doesn't require additional wrapping before gifting. It's a suitable choice for birthdays, housewarmings, or as a small gift for a teacher. If you're organizing a ceremony and want to pair glass items, L'Arcolaio also offers glass confetti holders like the Piovaccari glass confetti holder D 8 cm H 11 cmor the Piovaccari glass confetti holder favor D 6.5 cm H 9 cm, useful for baptisms and communions.

To choose the decoration

Consider the occasion and the recipient: exotic animal subjects (toucan, parrot, pelican) are lively and colorful, suitable for informal settings and those who love tropical wildlife. Marine decorations (octopus, starfish, dolphin) are well-suited for a summer table or for those living near the sea. The Heart design is the most neutral and suitable for a gift without a specific theme. The Chili Pepper has a more ironic character, perfect for those who love cooking.
