Extensive Frequently Asked Questions — Libbey Heavy Base
Where can I buy Libbey 13 oz. heavy base highballs in Canada?
You can purchase professional-grade 48-count cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our local Calgary hub to bars and restaurants across Western Canada.
What is an "English Highball"?
The English Highball (or English Hi-Ball) refers to a specific silhouette—usually taller and with a more pronounced taper and weighted base than a standard American highball or chimney glass.
Is 13 oz. the right size for a soda glass?
Yes. 13 oz. is a highly versatile "middle" size. It provides plenty of room for a standard soda pour plus a generous amount of ice, without the oversized look of a jumbo tumbler.
Are these glasses stackable?
No. Due to the weighted base and straight-sided taper, these glasses are not designed for safe stacking. To prevent jamming or scratching, we recommend storing them in partitioned glass racks.
Is the glass lead-free?
Yes. Libbey 139 glassware is 100% lead-free, ensuring it meets all 2026 health and safety standards for professional food and beverage service.
How many glasses come in a single case?
This is a high-yield industrial case containing 48 glasses, making it highly cost-effective for setting up large restaurant programs or banquet facilities.
Will the heavy base cause the glass to crack in the dishwasher?
No. Libbey engineers these with specific annealing processes to ensure the thick base and thinner walls expand and contract at the same rate, preventing thermal shock.
What is the difference between this and the "Lexington" highball?
The Lexington series is perfectly straight-sided (cylindrical). The Heavy Base 139 has a slight taper, widening toward the top, which some find easier to grip.
How tall is the 13 oz. Heavy Base glass?
The Libbey 139 stands at 5 5/8 inches, offering a statuesque but stable presence on any table.
Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?
Ordering locally ensures you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2–5 days—essential for maintaining consistent service standards in Western Canada.
