Know before you buy
This glass has a capacity of 80 ml (2.7 oz), which is perfectly sized for standard pours of dessert wines, liqueurs, or digestifs.
Due to the delicate nature of high-quality crystal and the vibrant purple finish, we recommend hand-washing this piece to maintain its clarity and prevent potential damage.
At 3.9 ounces, the glass is lightweight yet substantial enough to feel balanced and refined during use, consistent with the quality expected from Ajka Crystal.
The 1st Edition designation indicates this is part of the initial production run of the Castille collection, making it a more unique and collectible item for glassware enthusiasts.
The color is integrated into the high-quality crystal material itself, not applied as a surface coating, so it will retain its rich hue and brilliance with proper care.
