A Tribute to 270 Years of Craftsmanship & Tradition
RIEDEL Manufaktur
A statement of craft, passion & function
A Commitment to Craftsmanship
RIEDEL Manufaktur is a declaration of commitment. The name itself is an invitation: not only to own a glass with true character, but to experience the fascination of handmade glass at the RIEDEL Manufaktur.
Behind every RIEDEL Manufaktur glass stands a team of glassblowers who have perfected their craft through decades of dedication. Their precision, patience, and passion form the foundation of every single creation. RIEDEL takes pride in preserving this traditional knowledge, ensuring that each generation of glassmakers continues to uphold the standards that have shaped the brand for more than two centuries.
Their work is a living testament to human skill, creativity, and the beauty of true craftsmanship - values that define the essence of RIEDEL Manufaktur. Eight craftsmen contribute to every single piece. At RIEDEL, craftsmanship is not a show - it is a way of life.
A Design by Maximilian J. Riedel
The creation of RIEDEL Manufaktur embodies the creative vision of Maximilian Josef Riedel, uniting tradition and modern aesthetics in perfect harmony. Inspired by the Bauhaus principal, the collection follows a timeless principle: Form follows Function.
Each curve, each line, and every proportion has been thoughtfully conceived to refine the wine experience while preserving the elegant simplicity of RIEDEL’s design language. This fusion of art and purpose creates glassware that enhances the sensory pleasure of wine and stands as a sculptural expression of contemporary craftsmanship.
A New Chapter in the RIEDEL Story
With this series, RIEDEL introduces its first fully handmade collection since Sommeliers - a milestone in the brand’s history - and redefines the very meaning of quality.
This collection establishes a single, uncompromising standard for handmade glassware. Unlike Sommeliers, which distinguishes between first, second, and third choice, every glass in the RIEDEL Manufaktur line carries its own charm and individuality - a celebration of authentic craftsmanship.
Imperfection is not a flaw but a natural expression of handcraft. Each piece reflects the artistry and authenticity of its making, shaped by the skilled hands of RIEDEL’s master glassblowers.
Fine lines, delicate air bubbles, and subtle variations in weight are the hallmarks of this process – evidence of genuine artistry, not imperfection, and with no impact on the function or performance of the glass.
These subtle nuances tell a story of tradition, creativity, and craftsmanship, transforming every glass into a unique work of art, just as every wine reveals its own personality.
RIEDEL Manufaktur is more than glass - it is a symbol of authenticity, passion, and artistry. Each glass embodies 270 years of tradition, innovation, and devotion to the craft.
