IVV Crystal Glasses: Italian Tradition with Contemporary Design
At Bone & White, we offer a curated selection of crystal glasses from the prestigious Italian brand IVV (Industria Vetraria Valdarnese), renowned for blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Each glass is handmade from high-quality blown crystal, making them unique and durable pieces — perfect for everyday use or for adding sophistication to special gatherings.
Whether you're looking for vibrant colors or softer tones, you'll find options that pair beautifully with all types of dinnerware and table styles.
Crystal Glasses with True Color: Elegance and Durability
Unlike surface-tinted glasses, IVV's colored crystal glasses are made with color-infused glass, meaning the hue is part of the material itself. This technique ensures greater durability and a more refined aesthetic, with transparency and reflections that change with the light.
Available in a wide palette — from blues and greens to amber and blush pink — these colored crystal glasses bring personality to the table without sacrificing elegance.
Glasses That Tell a Story: The Value of Craftsmanship
Each IVV glass is not just a functional item but a piece with soul. Behind every shape, texture, and shade lie decades of expertise, skilled hands, and a philosophy rooted in authenticity.
Choosing these glasses means embracing conscious design, tradition, and attention to detail.
The Story of IVV: Glassmaking Excellence Since 1952
IVV (Industria Vetraria Valdarnese) was founded in Tuscany in 1952 as a cooperative of glass artisans. Today, it stands as one of Europe’s most respected names in handcrafted blown glass. The brand combines traditional techniques with modern innovation to create functional, beautiful, and long-lasting pieces.
Every IVV crystal glass reflects this heritage: contemporary design, artisanal soul, and a commitment to quality.
