Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate hand-blown crystal and intricate etched finish, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying with a soft cloth to maintain its clarity and prevent damage.
The CHOPE APOLLO has a capacity of 34 cl, which is approximately 11.5 ounces. This makes it an ideal size for a standard pour of beer or other chilled beverages.
Yes, as it is crafted from traditional high-quality crystal, it is not lead-free. This material choice is what allows for the glass's exceptional clarity and the precision of the 'nic-nac' cuts.
The stemless design offers a modern, stable feel that is comfortable to hold for everyday use. While it brings a contemporary aesthetic to your table, keep in mind that holding the glass by the bowl will transfer heat from your hand to the beverage more quickly than a stemmed glass.
Absolutely. While inspired by classic beer glass silhouettes, its versatile shape and elegant etched finish make it perfectly suitable for water, cocktails, or any beverage you wish to elevate.
Each CHOPE APOLLO glass is hand-blown and hand-cut in France by Saint-Louis artisans. This manufacturing method ensures that every piece has a unique, high-quality finish that mass-produced glassware cannot replicate.
