Why this carafe earns its place
Where a 1-litre carafe is overkill, the 100ml Atelier carafe is precision. At 133mm tall on a 56mm base, it's a compact jug designed to sit beside a plate or in front of a single diner: sauce poured fresh, oil for dipping, a small juice or digestif. The wide base keeps it stable despite the narrow height, and the slanted spout means even a small pour has control—no drips on the tablecloth.
The 100ml capacity is the portion standard: enough for a generous side of sauce without going to a full carafe, or a single digestif (3.5oz), or one proper measure of house oil. The transparent glass means guests see what they're getting—whether it's a vibrant salsa verde, cold-pressed oil, or aged balsamic. The form is Italian—simple and confident, the kind of glass that suits fine dining and casual bistro equally because it's built on function, not fashion.
These come in a practical 12-pack, which means enough for a dining room to have proper service pieces without vast redundancy. They coordinate with Luigi Bormioli's larger Atelier and Atelier Prestige ranges, so if you're building a complete table service in glass, this is the piece that handles the details. And because they're dishwasher safe, they go through service cleanly without special handling.
