Know before you buy
These glasses are not dishwasher safe. To maintain their clarity and prevent damage, we recommend hand-washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
No, the Caton champagne flute is crafted from traditional crystal, which contains lead to achieve its signature density, weight, and light-refracting brilliance.
Each flute has a capacity of 15 cl, which is approximately 5.07 ounces. This is a standard size for serving champagne or sparkling wine while allowing enough room for the effervescence to develop.
While hand-blown crystal is delicate, the Caton collection is specifically designed with chip-resistant durability in mind. However, due to the artisanal nature of the glass, it should still be handled with care to avoid impact.
While they are designed for formal occasions, their timeless, rustic aesthetic makes them versatile enough for any special celebration. Because they are hand-blown and require careful hand-washing, most owners prefer to reserve them for significant gatherings rather than daily use.
