Know before you buy
Authentic Gorham crystal typically features a subtle acid-etched mark on the base or underside of the foot. When purchasing vintage pieces, look for consistent weight, clarity, and the specific silhouette characteristic of the Cavalier line.
The Cavalier water goblet stands at 6 5/8 inches tall. This height is standard for a formal water goblet, making it versatile enough to pair with various wine glass styles.
Fine crystal, especially vintage pieces like the Cavalier collection, should always be hand-washed. The high temperatures and harsh detergents in dishwashers can cause clouding, etching, or potential breakage over time.
Yes, the Cavalier goblet features a universal stemware design. While intended for water, its shape is perfectly suited for serving iced tea, specialty cocktails, or even a generous pour of wine.
Store your crystal upright on a stable, flat surface to avoid stress on the rims. If you are stacking them, ensure there is adequate padding between each glass to prevent scratching or chipping.
