Know before you buy
No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate platinum trim and the nature of fine crystal, we recommend hand washing them gently with mild soap to preserve their finish.
No, the Laurin Platinum collection is not microwave safe. The platinum trim contains metallic elements that will spark and damage the glass if exposed to microwave radiation.
The collection includes a 7 5/8-inch water goblet and a 5 1/4-inch champagne or tall sherbet glass. Both pieces feature the signature optic bowl and platinum rim detailing.
Yes, this collection is crafted from traditional fine crystal, which is not lead-free. It is intended for formal dining and decorative use rather than daily beverage consumption.
Because production ended in 1997, these pieces are considered collectible. We recommend purchasing a few extra glasses if you plan to use them for frequent entertaining to account for potential breakage over time.
