Know before you buy
Yes, these glasses are dishwasher safe. However, because they are mouth-blown crystal, we recommend handling them with care and placing them in the dishwasher with sufficient space to prevent chipping.
The angular design is specifically crafted to maximize aeration. This allows red wines to breathe more effectively, helping to open up complex aromas and flavors that might otherwise remain muted.
Absolutely. While they are optimized for red wine, their generous 20.5 oz capacity and elegant design make them an excellent choice for serving select cocktails or even high-end water service during formal dinners.
Yes, these glasses are crafted from high-quality crystal that contains lead. This material is chosen for its superior clarity and brilliance, which highlights the unique black drop detail in the stem.
To maintain the luster and integrity of the crystal, avoid extreme temperature changes. If washing by hand, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth, and always store them upright to prevent stress on the stems.
Each glass stands 9 inches tall with a width of 4.5 inches. Their substantial size and 20.5 oz capacity provide a balanced, weighted feel in the hand.
