Know before you buy
The Harcourt 1841 tumbler is designed as a classic old-fashioned glass, typically suited for a standard pour of spirits or cocktails served neat or on the rocks.
At 3.26 lbs, this is a substantial, heavy-bottomed piece of crystal. The weight provides a grounded, premium feel in the hand that reflects the quality of the craftsmanship.
The hexagonal base is a signature design element that provides excellent stability on flat surfaces. It also creates beautiful light refractions when paired with the glass's flat-cut facets.
Due to the delicate nature of fine crystal and the intricate beveled facets, we recommend hand-washing these tumblers with a soft cloth to maintain their clarity and prevent potential damage.
The collection dates back to 1841 and has been a staple in French history, favored by royalty, heads of state, and historic institutions for nearly two centuries.
To keep the crystal clear and free of water spots, simply hand-wash with mild soap and dry immediately with a lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives that could scratch the surface.
