What customers say
Customers view the Lobmeyr Water Carafe as functional art and a true heirloom. The core sentiment praises the unparalleled quality of the muslin glass, noting its incredible lightness and crystal clarity, which makes pouring feel luxurious. Reviewers consistently highlight the delicate, weightless feel resulting from meticulous craftsmanship. The hand painted golden dot adds subtle, elegant sparkle, elevating any setting.

The high price point reflects artisanal excellence and heirloom status, positioning this carafe as a significant luxury investment for those prioritizing exquisite design over rugged durability.
Know before you buy
Due to the delicate nature of the mouthblown, lead-free crystal and the intricate copper wheel engraving, we recommend hand-washing this carafe with mild soap and warm water to preserve its finish.
No, this design features an open-top silhouette. It is intended for serving water at the table rather than long-term storage in the refrigerator.
The carafe is crafted from lead-free crystal, which is lighter than traditional lead crystal. While it lacks a handle, the 4-inch diameter is designed to be comfortable and balanced for most hands to grip securely.
The Golden Dot is a signature design element by Mark Braun that highlights the minimalist aesthetic of the piece. It is achieved through traditional copper wheel engraving, a labor-intensive technique that adds a subtle, tactile detail to the smooth crystal surface.
This piece is specifically designed for serving water and cold beverages. We do not recommend using it for boiling or very hot liquids, as thermal shock could potentially damage the handcrafted crystal.
