Know before you buy
No, these glasses are crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal, ensuring they are safe for regular use while maintaining the clarity and brilliance associated with fine stemware.
The 22-ounce bowl is designed with a wide surface area that allows the wine to breathe, helping to soften the tannins and release the complex aromas characteristic of Merlot and other medium-to-full-bodied red wines.
To preserve the integrity and shine of the hand-blown crystal, we recommend hand-washing them gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying them immediately with a lint-free cloth.
While these glasses feature a delicate, crisp rim and elegant profile, they are crafted for sophisticated entertaining. Due to their hand-made nature, they require careful handling and are best suited for special occasions or thoughtful evening pours.
Each glass stands 8.7 inches tall with a diameter of 4.1 inches. We recommend measuring your cabinet shelves to ensure they have enough clearance for the height of the stem.
