Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate mouth-blown craftsmanship and the cased lead crystal material, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap to preserve its finish and clarity.
This glass has a capacity of 10.5 ounces (310 ml), which is an ideal size for a standard Old Fashioned or other spirit-forward cocktails served over a large ice cube.
Cased crystal involves layering a thin layer of colored glass over a clear base. This technique creates a deep, vibrant saturation of color that is much richer than glass that has been tinted throughout, giving the golden red hue its unique depth.
Because each piece is mouth-blown and hand-polished, there will be subtle variations in the glass. These slight differences are a hallmark of authentic artisan craftsmanship and ensure that every glass is a unique work of art.
The glass weighs 11.3 ounces (320 grams), providing a substantial, weighted feel in the hand. While it is durable enough for regular use, its intricate design and material make it better suited for special occasions or evening drinks.
