Know before you buy
Because the Fidelio pattern was discontinued, we recommend inspecting your existing pieces for the specific notched stem design and clarity. These goblets are best suited for collectors looking to replace broken pieces or those who appreciate the aesthetic of vintage 1974 glassware.
These goblets are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing them gently with mild soap and warm water, followed by a soft cloth dry to prevent water spots.
Yes, this product is not lead-free. As a vintage piece from 1974, it is crafted from traditional crystal, which typically contains lead to achieve its signature brilliance and weight.
Each goblet stands at 7 1/8 inches tall. This height is standard for a water goblet and provides a balanced profile for formal table settings.
No, these goblets are not microwave safe. The crystal material is not designed to withstand the rapid temperature changes or electromagnetic energy produced by microwaves.
