This fan-favorite, special Rocks Glass offers the same sturdy experience as our Handblown Rocks Glass, but with the addition of a hammered effect that plays well with light, and offers a high-quality drinking experience for all occasions. Our studio team blows molten glass into a metal tube, which creates a texture similar to hammered metal on the outside. Each Hammered Rocks Glass is hot-stamped on the base with ALIA VTOL or ALIA CTOL. Dishwasher safe.
Our original beer glass is a combination of Scandinavian-American design aesthetics, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation of craft brewing. It's a true companion on your beer journey— being comfortable to hold, with graceful curves highlighting the hues of your favorite lagers, ales, porters, stouts, and more. Each glass is hot-stamped on the base with your choice of design: the distinctive outline of Vermont, the AO Glass logo, or two linked Hearts.
Dimensions: 6.5” tall x 3” diameter and holds 15 fl oz. Top rack dishwasher safe.
Hand-engraving is available for an additional $10 per item. Use the Additional Information section at checkout to let us know what short text/names/dates you’d like to have included on the bottom of the glass.

AO Glass is the home of the glass gnome, called a Tomte. Did you know that each one has its own distinct personality and story? Learn more about our 16 individual Tomtes and their characters on the Tomte Family Page.
Sky - Light Blue
This light and airy Tomte encourages us to live our lives to the fullest. Reflecting the color of the continuous blue sky above the clouds, this gnome offers the perspective of togetherness. This Tomte is a reminder to fully embrace the world, and the people around us.
Crystal - Clear
The most clear-headed of the Tomte, literally. Its transparency transcends its physical properties by allowing others to envision themselves through it. The crystal Tomte encourages us to abandon our imposed identities and embrace how we truly see ourselves. This gnome brings clarity to everyone it encounters.
