Klaret Spitton

Klaret Spittoon – Turning wine tasting into art

Overview

The Klaret Spittoon redefines the classic tasting accessory: a technical vessel elevated to a piece of art. Designed for wine professionals and passionate enthusiasts, this spittoon blends functionality, aesthetics, and artisanal uniqueness. Essential during tastings, it also serves as a design statement, bringing color, creativity, and personality to any space.

Origin and Design Philosophy

The project was born from the idea of going beyond standard function, transforming the spittoon into a collectible object. Klaret Glass decided to produce a limited edition of 99 unique pieces, each decorated with vibrant and joyful color patterns. Every item is numbered and signed by sculptor Drahomír Prihel, who designed the original shapes and color combinations. What was once a simple tool has become a true example of glass art.

Craftsmanship and Materials

The Klaret Spittoon is handmade at the Czech glassworks Sklárna Svoboda, one of Europe’s most respected artistic glass manufacturers. Each piece is blown, colored, and finished by hand, following the traditional Bohemian glassmaking techniques. The result is a vessel that is both robust and refined, balancing precision craftsmanship with expressive creativity.

Aesthetic and Identity

Each spittoon features unique color patterns, ranging from deep blues to coral reds and delicate transparencies. No two pieces are identical: every one reflects the artist’s vision and the heritage of Bohemian glass. It is a perfect representation of how wine culture and contemporary design can coexist harmoniously.

Use and Purpose

The Klaret Spittoon is ideal for professional tastings, wine events, sommelier rooms, and private collections. With its one-litre capacity, it ensures full functionality while maintaining balance and stability. It is designed for those who experience wine as an aesthetic and sensory ritual, where every detail — even the tools — becomes part of the beauty of the moment.

Klaret Glass – The Art of the Wine Glass Between Tradition and Innovation

The Story of Klaret Glass

Klaret Glass was born from a deep passion for glass — a material that is bright, transparent, strong, and yet fragile. Its cyclical nature, capable of being melted and reshaped endlessly, symbolizes the brand’s endless creativity. Since its beginnings, Klaret Glass has sought to merge European craftsmanship with contemporary design, reinterpreting ancient glassmaking traditions in a modern language. The goal has always been to create glasses that express elegance, balance, and functionality, turning every tasting into a refined sensory ritual.

Philosophy and Design: Form Follows Function

In the Klaret world, beauty is the direct result of function. The company embraces the Bauhaus principle that form should follow purpose. Each glass is designed to enhance the characteristics of wine through pure lines and perfect proportions. This minimalist approach, driven by skilled designers and glass artisans, results in collections that combine visual harmony and tactile pleasure — where every detail serves to heighten the wine experience.

Production Approach and Accessible Quality

Klaret Glass believes that a great wine deserves a great glass, but price should not be a barrier. The company’s mission is to offer handcrafted premium glasses at an accessible cost, achieving one of the best price-to-performance ratios in the industry. Each collection is the result of ongoing research into ergonomics, lightness, and durability. Production combines handcrafted expertise and modern technology, ensuring consistent quality and meticulous attention to detail at every stage.

Vision and Customization: Elevating the Wine Experience

For Klaret Glass, glass is not merely a material but a medium that unites art, function, and pleasure. The company works closely with sommeliers, winemakers, and designers to create collections that reflect the personality of their users. The option of customizing glasses makes each product unique and personal. Klaret’s vision is to elevate wine-drinking, transforming it into a daily gesture of awareness and elegance.
