Know before you buy

Yes, these pieces were produced before modern lead-free standards were common, so they are not lead-free.
Because these are vintage crystal pieces, we recommend hand-washing them gently in warm, soapy water and drying them immediately with a soft cloth to maintain their clarity and prevent spotting.
While they are crafted with the durability expected of high-quality crystal, their formal design and vintage status make them best suited for special occasions and curated table settings.
