Know before you buy
Because these glasses are not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash them gently using mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, which can damage the delicate gold trim over time.
No, the Encore Gold collection is not microwave safe. The gold trim contains metallic elements that will spark and cause damage to both the glass and your appliance.
Yes, this collection is not lead-free. It is crafted from traditional high-quality crystal, which provides the clarity and weight characteristic of the era in which it was produced.
The collection varies in height to suit the specific beverage: the water goblet stands at 8 5/8 inches, the wine glass at 7 7/8 inches, and the champagne flute at 9 3/8 inches.
While the crystal itself is break-resistant, the gold trim is a decorative finish that requires careful handling. To maintain the luster of the gold, avoid stacking the glasses and always hand wash them immediately after use.
