Know before you buy
The stem features three stacked, diamond-shaped beads designed by Savinel & Rozé. This geometric, sculptural element provides a striking visual contrast to the smooth bowl and serves as a signature aesthetic for the Baccarat Vega collection.
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of hand-blown lead crystal, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its clarity and prevent damage.
With a 10.8-ounce capacity, this glass is smaller than many modern, oversized red wine glasses. It is best suited for those who prefer a more traditional, controlled pour that allows the wine to breathe without the need for a massive bowl.
While the glass is crafted from full lead crystal, which is known for its exceptional brilliance and clarity, it is not shatterproof. It is chip-resistant under normal use, but it should be handled with care to avoid impact.
While the Vega glass is durable enough for regular enjoyment, its formal design and handcrafted nature make it better suited for special occasions or elevated dinner settings. Its sculptural stem is intended to be a focal point on your table.
