Know before you buy
The rocks glass features a solid glass cube fused into the base. By placing the glass in your freezer for up to 20 minutes, the glass cube absorbs the cold, allowing it to chill your spirit or cocktail directly without the dilution caused by melting ice.
No, these pieces must be hand washed only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-blown glass and the 24k gold leaf accents, a dishwasher could damage the finish and structural integrity of the piece.
We recommend sticking to the 20-minute window. Furthermore, ensure the glass is completely dry before freezing, as freezing with excessive water inside or on the glass can potentially cause damage.
Because each piece is individually hand-blown using traditional Venetian techniques, there will be slight variations in shape and finish. This ensures that every glass is a unique work of art rather than a mass-produced item.
Each rocks glass has an 8 oz capacity, which is perfectly sized for a standard pour of whiskey, scotch, or a classic short cocktail.
The primary difference is the aesthetic tone of the glass body. The smoke-tinted version is slightly heavier, weighing approximately 1.31 lbs compared to the 1.24 lbs of the clear version, and offers a moodier, more dramatic look for your bar cart.
