Know before you buy
Because these glasses are hand-blown and feature delicate, hand-kneaded textures, we recommend hand washing them to preserve their unique finish and structural integrity.
No, the beauty of these glasses lies in their intentional variation. Each piece is individually kneaded by artisans, meaning you will notice slight differences in shape and texture across the set.
These glasses are versatile enough for both culinary and bar use. They are perfectly sized for individual dessert portions like mousses or parfaits, but their unique aesthetic also makes them an excellent choice for serving specialty cocktails.
The fire-polishing process smooths the surface of the glass after it has been blown into a rough mold. This creates a soft, tactile finish that feels comfortable in the hand while maintaining the distinct, organic shape of the piece.
These glasses are designed primarily for room temperature or cold contents, such as desserts and cocktails. We do not recommend using them for boiling liquids, as the hand-blown glass may not be tempered for extreme thermal shock.
