Meissen: Gourmet-Sets

Gin Set 3 pieces

Gin from porcelain? Absolutely.

A good gin needs juniper, ice and the right vessel. The three-piece MEISSEN Gin Set from the Gourmet Sets collection proves that the vessel does not necessarily have to be made of glass. The set includes two white gin tumblers handcrafted from hard-paste porcelain and a bottle of Juniper Jack London Dry Gin. Designed by the MEISSEN Atelier, the tumblers have a contemporary, gently faceted silhouette: softly rounded through the body, clearly defined at the base and compact enough to sit comfortably in the hand. Their luminous white surface focuses attention on the form while creating a striking contrast with clear gin, ice, herbs or a delicate twist of citrus. This is not simply a different way to serve a drink; it is a small change of perspective. The evening is unlikely to object.

Made in Germany, the porcelain tumblers combine the refined tactile quality of MEISSEN hard-paste porcelain with a refreshingly modern approach to enjoying gin. The material feels smooth and substantial, while the softly angular shape offers a confident, comfortable grip. After use, the tumblers may be placed in the dishwasher. They are also microwave safe, should their future involve tea, punch or an alcohol-free botanical serve. Together with the Juniper Jack London Dry Gin and the carefully designed presentation box, they form a gift set that creates a sense of occasion before the first drink is poured.

Two tumblers, one bottle and excellent prospects

The MEISSEN Gourmet Set is made for those who do not define enjoyment by convention. The porcelain tumblers feel both minimal and sculptural, offering classic gin serves a completely new stage. Whether the spirit is enjoyed neat, over ice or with tonic, the experience becomes distinctly tactile: the smooth surface, balanced weight and unusual form can be felt without turning the moment into a formal ceremony.

As a wedding, birthday or housewarming present, or as a gift for a thoughtful host, the set offers something genuinely unexpected. It is also an excellent present for a couple – two tumblers are, after all, a rather elegant suggestion that the bottle should not be opened alone. The refined box keeps all three elements securely presented and makes the set feel special long before the cap is removed.

When porcelain craftsmanship visits the drinks trolley

Since 1710, the State Porcelain Manufactory MEISSEN has represented masterful handcraftsmanship and exceptional porcelain quality. Each piece begins with pure kaolin from the manufactory’s own mine near Meissen. Combined with feldspar and quartz, it becomes the distinctive hard-paste porcelain whose whiteness, strength and refined radiance have been perfected over more than three centuries. The Crossed Swords mark has represented this provenance since 1722 and is still applied by specially trained craftspeople.

With its Gourmet Sets, MEISSEN shows that a historic manufactory can have a very contemporary understanding of pleasure. The two gin tumblers translate generations of knowledge about material, proportion and form into a design that feels neither historic nor formal. This balance of substance and ease reflects the LIVOSY philosophy beautifully: objects may carry a rich story, provided they belong naturally in life today.

A gift that brings the evening with it

The three-piece MEISSEN Gin Set can be completed with a favourite tonic, generous ice cubes and carefully chosen botanicals to create a personal serving ritual. Arranged on a simple tray beside a small bowl of citrus peel or paired with refined bar accessories, the white porcelain tumblers make a particularly elegant impression. Combined with other MEISSEN pieces, such as bowls, serving plates or vases, they become part of a setting that feels modern while remaining grounded in genuine craftsmanship.

At LIVOSY, we see this Gourmet Set as a fine example of how table culture can still surprise. Two handcrafted porcelain tumblers, a characterful London Dry Gin and a presentation that feels enjoyable before the bottle is even opened. A distinctive gift for gin enthusiasts – or a perfectly reasonable set to keep for yourself.
