Know before you buy
Due to the delicate hand-blown crystal and platinum finish, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing them gently in warm water with a mild detergent and drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain their clarity and shine.
The platinum decoration is applied with expert craftsmanship, but it remains a delicate surface treatment. To preserve the integrity of the finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, and handle the glass with care to prevent scratching.
Absolutely. The slender, elegant shape of the Thistle flute is designed to preserve the carbonation and enhance the aromatics of any high-quality sparkling wine, including Prosecco, Cava, or Franciacorta.
The Thistle collection is one of the brand's most iconic designs, first introduced in 1913. It is distinguished by its intricate Venetian ribs and precise beveling, which require a high level of technical skill to execute by hand.
