Know before you buy
No, due to the delicate hand-painted 21-karat gold accents, these glasses must be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher will cause the gold detailing to fade or wear off over time.
Yes, the wide bowl design is excellent for serving sophisticated desserts like mousse, sorbet, or chilled fruit parfaits. It adds a touch of elegance to any course beyond just cocktails.
Yes, this glass is crafted from traditional crystal, which is not lead-free. This material choice provides the signature clarity and weight associated with the Nobel collection.
Store them in a secure cabinet where they won't rub against other glassware. Because the gold is hand-painted, it is best to keep them upright and avoid stacking them to prevent scratching the finish.
Yes, these are the exact glasses designed by Gunnar Cyrén for the Nobel Banquet. They are produced using the same traditional mouth-blowing and hand-painting techniques used for the event.
