Customers consistently praise its substantial weight and perfect balance, noting how the hand finished crystal enhances any table setting.

Know before you buy
The lemon-squeezer base is a traditional design element from the Georgian era. While it serves as a decorative, historical detail, it also provides a sturdy, weighted foundation that adds stability to the glass.
The Virginia Goblet is designed as a universal stemware piece. Its silhouette is versatile enough to accommodate red, white, or sparkling wines, making it a practical choice for those who prefer a cohesive table setting.
To maintain the clarity and brilliance of the crystal, we recommend hand-washing with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can cause clouding or potential chipping over time.
The square base is primarily a design feature for the foot of the glass, while the stem and bowl remain rounded for a comfortable grip. It provides a unique visual anchor on the table without compromising the ergonomics of holding the glass.
While standard glasses use a circular base, the Virginia Goblet’s square base offers a more architectural, structured look. It is an ideal choice if you are looking to add a geometric, modern edge to a traditional table setting.
