Know before you buy
The glass is specifically engineered with a unique bowl shape that balances aeration and aroma concentration. This allows it to perform exceptionally well for both medium-bodied red wines and crisp white wines, eliminating the need for a large collection of varietal-specific glassware.
No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. Because they are mouth-blown and feature a delicate, thin-walled construction, they must be hand-washed carefully to maintain their integrity and clarity.
While mouth-blown glass is prized for its lightness and elegant aesthetic, it is more delicate than mass-produced machine-made glass. However, the Josephine No. 2 is designed to be surprisingly robust for its weight, provided it is handled with the care required for fine stemware.
The glass stands 9.45 inches tall with a diameter of 3.54 inches. It has a generous capacity of 18.875 ounces, which provides ample room for the wine to breathe.
No, the Josephine No. 2 is crafted from high-quality, lead-free glass. This ensures the material is safe for consumption and maintains a brilliant, clear finish.
Because each piece is handmade and mouth-blown in Europe, there may be very slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and confirm that each glass is a unique piece of craftsmanship.
