Know before you buy
The black color is integrated into the crystal material itself, rather than being a surface coating. This ensures the deep, striking hue remains vibrant and will not peel or fade over time.
Yes, because each piece is hand-blown by Ajka Crystal artisans, there may be subtle variations in the glass. These slight differences are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and make each piece unique.
While the crystal is chip-resistant, we strongly recommend hand-washing these glasses. The delicate nature of hand-blown crystal and the specialized black finish are best preserved through gentle, manual cleaning.
The 250 ml capacity is specifically designed to enhance the aeration and profile of fine red wines. Its shape is ideal for vintage reds, though it may be smaller than the oversized bowls typically used for heavy, high-tannin varietals.
The opaque black finish does obscure the visual inspection of the wine's color and clarity. These glasses are intended for the sensory experience of the wine's aroma and taste rather than for formal wine tasting or evaluation.
No, these glasses are not lead-free. The inclusion of lead in the crystal composition is what allows for the glass's signature clarity, weight, and ability to be crafted into such refined, thin-walled shapes.
