Know before you buy
Yes, the Viscount pattern by Gorham Crystal was officially discontinued in 1987. Because of this, any pieces you purchase are considered vintage collectibles rather than new production items.
No, these crystal glasses are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity of the crystal and the integrity of the textured foot, we recommend hand washing them gently with mild soap.
Yes, the 6-inch wine glass in the Viscount collection is versatile enough to serve both red and white wines. Its design is intended to provide a sophisticated presentation for any standard pour.
The textured foot is designed to provide a more secure grip and improved stability on the table compared to a smooth, polished base. It also adds a distinct visual detail that complements the vertical cuts on the bowl.
No, this collection is not lead-free. As a vintage crystal pattern, it was manufactured using traditional methods that include lead content, which contributes to the material's signature weight and brilliance.
