Know before you buy
No, these flutes should be hand-washed only. To maintain the luster of the pewter and the clarity of the handblown crystal, we recommend washing them gently with mild soap and drying them immediately with a soft cloth.
The Empire Champagne Flute is designed with a weighted, solid pewter base that provides excellent stability. This balance ensures the glass feels substantial in the hand and sits securely on your table.
Pewter is a metal and will naturally take on the ambient temperature of the room. However, because you hold the glass by the stem, the temperature of your hand will not significantly impact the chilled temperature of the champagne in the crystal bowl.
Yes, the handblown crystal bowl is expertly bonded to the sculpted pewter stem during the manufacturing process in Italy. It is a permanent, durable assembly designed for long-term use.
The flute is designed specifically for champagne service, typically holding between 6 and 7 ounces. The shape is optimized to preserve carbonation and concentrate the bouquet of sparkling wines.
