Rolls-Royce Celebrates The Cocktail Hour
With Limited Edition Hamper
The upper tier of the Hamper, containing tumblers, decanters
and a shaker, is adorned in a Golden Sand coloured leather,
selected for its vibrancy, offset with polished aluminium.
Smaller utensils including a muddler finished in American
Walnut and a strainer engraved with the ‘RR’ monogram are
securely stored on a specially developed moveable rack that
can be locked when not in use and moved via a hinge to ensure
effortless access when required.
Only the very finest materials, sourced from the world’s best
suppliers adorn a Rolls-Royce motor car, with this philosophy
extending in this instance to the choice of glassware.
Theresienthal, Europe’s most revered glassmaker and supplier
of many of the Continent’s Royal Courts, was chosen for their
unique dedication to artisanal hand-craftsmanship.
The glasses themselves take one month to complete owing
to the utilisation of a time-honoured technique that sees
the glass blown into beech wood moulds, guaranteeing an
exceptionally smooth surface.
Many of the Theresienthal craftspeople represent the
fifth generation of their family to work at the foundry. The
presence of the human hand at every stage of the production
process ensures no two glasses are the same, with almost
imperceptible differences attributable only to the glasses’
master craftsperson.
As an exclusive flourish, designed to express the delicacy of the
glasses themselves, the rims are finished in platinum.
Finally, a perfect service is guaranteed through the inclusion
of a glass tray, discreetly and safely housed beneath the
integrated wooden chopping board, ensuring drinks are
presented to guests in consummate Rolls-Royce luxury. As a
finishing touch, a book containing a series of cocktail recipes
inspired by the marque’s extraordinary heritage completes the
set.
Only 15 of these exquisitely crafted hampers will be produced,
ensuring their exclusivity. Customers wishing to acquire one
can do so through one of the marque’s 130 dealerships across
the globe.
