Know before you buy
Because these glasses are handblown, we recommend hand washing them with warm water and mild soap to preserve the clarity and integrity of the glass over time.
The hefty base provides a low center of gravity, which makes the glass feel stable and substantial in your hand. This weight also adds a layer of durability, making it less prone to tipping over during casual use.
Absolutely. While the shape was inspired by Irish whiskey service, its versatile design makes it perfectly suitable for serving water, juice, or craft cocktails.
No, that is the hallmark of artisanal glass. You may notice slight variations in the glass thickness or subtle air bubbles, which are natural characteristics of the handblown process and make each piece unique.
Yes, this tumbler is a core piece of the Simon Pearce Ascutney collection. It is designed to match the aesthetic and proportions of other items in the series, allowing you to build a cohesive barware set.
