Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is crafted from traditional lead crystal. This material is chosen for its superior clarity and weight, which enhances the visual appeal of the blue hue.
To preserve the integrity of the hand-blown crystal and its vibrant color, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the finish over time.
While the shape is optimized for the aromatic profile of brandy, its 400 ml capacity and elegant design make it a versatile choice for full-bodied red wines. The wide bowl allows for proper aeration of complex vintages.
While it is a delicate piece of artisan-crafted stemware, it is designed to be chip-resistant. However, because it is hand-blown crystal, it should be handled with care and stored securely when not in use.
Being part of the 1st Edition means this glass is an original production run from Ajka Crystal. These pieces are often sought after by collectors for their specific craftsmanship and limited availability compared to standard production lines.
