Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of mouth-blown lead crystal and the hand-polished finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a soft cloth to preserve its clarity and luster.
This glass has a capacity of 390 ml, which is approximately 13.2 ounces. It is sized perfectly for a standard pour of spirits over a large ice cube.
Cased crystal involves layering clear crystal with colored glass, which results in a deeper, more saturated hue and enhanced light refraction. This technique gives the blue color a rich, vibrant appearance that is much more durable and visually striking than surface-painted glass.
Because each piece is mouth-blown and hand-polished by artisans, there will be slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of genuine artisanal craftsmanship and ensure that every piece in the Marsala collection is truly one-of-a-kind.
The grape design is intricately crafted into the crystal as part of the glassmaking process. It provides a tactile, textured feel that adds to the sophisticated aesthetic of the piece.
