Know before you buy
Due to the delicate hand-blown crystal and platinum-engraved detailing, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain their clarity.
This coupe-style glass has a capacity of 22 cl, or approximately 7.44 ounces. It is perfectly sized for classic cocktails served up, such as a martini or a champagne-based drink.
The platinum frieze is a delicate decorative element. To preserve the finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, and ensure the glass is stored in a way that prevents the rim or bowl from rubbing against other hard surfaces.
No, the Thistle collection is crafted from traditional high-quality crystal, which contains lead to achieve its signature brilliance, weight, and clarity. This is standard for luxury heritage stemware.
While the Thistle collection is exceptionally durable for its type, it is designed primarily for formal occasions and sophisticated entertaining. Given the intricate hand-cut details and platinum accents, most owners prefer to reserve them for special events.
