Know before you buy
Because these glasses are hand-blown and feature a delicate platinum frieze, they are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain the clarity and luster of the crystal.
The platinum frieze is applied with the high level of craftsmanship expected from Saint-Louis. While it is durable, it should be handled with care and kept away from abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals to ensure the metallic finish remains pristine over time.
Yes, the Thistle tasting glass is designed as a universal stemware piece. Its shape and 36 cl capacity are versatile enough to provide a sophisticated experience for a wide variety of wines, from crisp whites to elegant reds.
As a hand-blown piece, this glass offers a distinct weight and balance that machine-made alternatives often lack. You will notice a refined, artisanal quality in the hand-cut Venetian ribs and the overall precision of the crystal, providing a more substantial and luxurious feel in the hand.
While the Thistle collection is designed for formal and special occasions, its chip-resistant durability makes it robust enough for frequent use. However, given the intricate hand-cut details and platinum accents, most owners prefer to reserve them for celebrations or elevated dining experiences.
