Know before you buy
These glasses are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, followed by a soft cloth dry.
While the Castille Cordial is chip-resistant, it is designed primarily for special occasions and dessert service. Given the delicate nature of fine crystal, it is best reserved for entertaining rather than daily high-traffic use.
With a 3 oz capacity, this glass is perfectly sized for fortified dessert wines like Port or Sherry, as well as small pours of liqueurs or digestifs. The smaller volume allows you to serve concentrated spirits without overwhelming the palate.
The 1st Edition status indicates this is an early production run from Ajka Crystal, which may hold more value for collectors. It does not change the physical properties of the crystal, but you should handle it with extra care to preserve its collectible condition.
No, this piece is not lead-free. The inclusion of lead in the crystal composition is what provides the signature weight, clarity, and brilliance characteristic of traditional Ajka Crystal craftsmanship.
