Know before you buy
The lemon squeezer foot is a signature design element from 18th-century English glassware that was largely discontinued by 1850. It provides a distinct, historical aesthetic and a sturdy, weighted foundation for the glass.
To preserve the hand-engraved detailing and the clarity of the crystal, these glasses must be hand-washed. Use warm water with a mild detergent and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
No, this piece is crafted from traditional crystal, which is not lead-free. This material choice is essential for achieving the specific weight, brilliance, and clarity characteristic of 18th-century reproductions.
While the crystal is chip-resistant, these glasses are designed primarily for special occasions due to their intricate hand-engraved rims and historical value. They are best reserved for formal dining or celebratory events.
Because each glass is hand-blown and hand-engraved, there may be subtle variations in the finish or dimensions. These slight differences are hallmarks of the artisanal process and ensure that every piece is unique.
