Know before you buy
This glass stands at precisely 6 1/4 inches tall, making it a standard, manageable size for formal table settings.
No, this piece is crafted from traditional crystal and is not lead-free. It features the classic weight and clarity associated with vintage Gorham crystal production.
The French Cathedral pattern was discontinued in 1992. While it is a sought-after collectible, you may need to rely on secondary markets to source additional matching pieces for a full set.
To protect the heavy cut detailing and the integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing these glasses in warm, soapy water and drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
While categorized as a red wine glass, its versatile shape and size make it appropriate for serving a variety of wines. The heavy cut style provides a sturdy, elegant feel that enhances the presentation of any vintage.
