Know before you buy
Yes, the Saint-Louis Apollo Hock is crafted from traditional lead crystal. This material is chosen for its superior clarity, weight, and the way it refracts light, which enhances the vibrant colors of the glass.
Due to the delicate nature of hand-blown crystal, we strongly recommend hand-washing these glasses. Using a dishwasher can lead to clouding, scratching, or accidental breakage.
The colored bowl will tint the appearance of the wine, which is a stylistic choice often used for formal table settings. If you are looking to appreciate the specific color and clarity of a vintage, you may prefer a clear glass, but these are designed specifically to add a decorative, sophisticated element to your service.
While durable, these are fine crystal pieces intended for formal occasions and special gatherings. They are best reserved for events where you want to elevate the presentation of your table.
Yes, because each piece is meticulously hand-blown, you may notice subtle variations in the glass. These slight differences are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and do not affect the quality or functionality of the stemware.
