Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to its delicate craftsmanship and unique opalescent finish, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap to preserve its appearance.
This glass is not microwave safe and is designed as a single-wall tumbler. It is best suited for cold or room-temperature beverages rather than hot liquids.
The Hirota Opal Wave Glass has a capacity of 300ml, which is ideal for a standard serving of water, juice, or a sophisticated cocktail.
To maintain the integrity of the traditional glassmaking techniques, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. Simply rinse with warm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
While the glass features an elegant and delicate aesthetic, it is crafted with durable traditional techniques. However, because it is a fine piece of Japanese glassware, it should be handled with care and is better suited for thoughtful, daily enjoyment rather than rugged use.
