German glassmaker Josephinenhütte announced the launch of the limited edition Josephine No. 5 with a set of six water glasses. The collection will be available for presale on June 4, and to the public on June 10.
Inspired by a hike through Austria’s Dachstein mountains, Kurt Josef Zalto created a vivid interpretation of his surroundings. The result is a collection of six water glasses, each available in distinct colors: Mountain Spring, Lupin’s Glow, Twilight Breeze, Morning Copper, Wild Dandelion, and Emerald Lake – all hues drawn from the natural beauty he encountered along the way.
His interpretation of the soft tones and color palette of the Alpine landscape took shape in Josephine No. 5 Alpine Light, a limited-edition six glass series. Originally designed for serving water and soft beverages, the glass complements the brand’s renowned wine glass collections.
In the afternoon, high up on the ridge, I was surrounded by the gentle light of the Golden Hour. As the sun set, the sky shifted from blue to smoky violet, streaked with an orange glow. The air became clearer. In the special edition of Josephine No. 5 Alpine Light, I aimed to capture those special moments when nature, color, and emotion come together. Each glass reflects the fleeting beauty of these scenes on the Dachstein.
— Kurt Josef Zalto, Master Wineglass Designer of Josephinenhütte
The Josephine No. 5 glasses will be available while stocks last and sold only as a set.
The Limited Edition Josephine No. 5 Alpine Light 6-piece set is priced at €260 / $380 (USA) / £280 (GBP). To be eligible for the presale, sign up to the newsletter on Josephinen.com.
