Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity and vibrant ruby red finish of the crystal, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a soft cloth.
Yes, this piece is crafted from traditional crystal, which contains lead. This material is chosen for its superior brilliance and weight, but it should be handled with care and is not intended for long-term food storage.
The glass has a capacity of 6.1 ounces (180 ml). This size is ideal for a standard martini, allowing enough room to prevent spills while maintaining the classic aesthetic of the cocktail.
The glass weighs 310 grams, giving it a substantial, high-quality feel. This weight provides excellent stability and reinforces the premium craftsmanship expected from the Ajka Crystal brand.
Absolutely. While the shape is optimized for martinis, its 6.1-ounce capacity makes it a versatile choice for other chilled cocktails, such as a cosmopolitan, gimlet, or a small dessert pour.
