Know before you buy
This glass is specifically designed for serving cordials, digestifs, or small pours of dessert wines. Its 70 ml capacity is perfectly proportioned for these concentrated, high-alcohol beverages.
Because this piece is hand-blown and features a delicate finish, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water, followed by immediate drying with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its clarity.
The golden red hue is integrated into the crystal itself through traditional glassmaking techniques. As a hand-blown piece, the color is permanent and will not peel or fade with proper care.
Yes, this piece is crafted from traditional crystal, which is not lead-free. This composition is what gives the glass its characteristic weight, brilliance, and light-refracting qualities.
The 1st Edition designation indicates that this glass is part of the initial production run of the Colleen Encore collection. These pieces are often sought after by collectors for their historical significance and the specific craftsmanship standards applied during the inaugural manufacturing phase.
