Know before you buy
Yes, the balloon shape is versatile enough to accommodate both red and white wines. The wide bowl allows red wines to breathe, while the elegant design showcases the clarity and color of white varietals.
The Lismore Essence collection features a thinner stem and lighter walls compared to traditional, heavier crystal glasses. This refined profile provides a more delicate feel in the hand while maintaining the signature brilliance of hand-blown crystal.
No, these glasses are crafted from lead-free fine crystal. This ensures they are safe for regular use while still providing the clarity and weight associated with high-quality glassware.
To preserve the clarity and integrity of the hand-blown crystal, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive sponges to prevent scratching the etched pattern.
Each glass in this set of two has a capacity of 17 ounces. This size is ideal for a standard pour, allowing enough room for the wine to aerate properly.
