Know before you buy
Yes, Riedel crystal tumblers are designed to be dishwasher safe. However, to maintain their clarity and prevent clouding over time, we recommend using a gentle cycle and avoiding high-heat drying settings.
These glasses are crafted from high-quality lead-free crystal, which offers superior clarity, brilliance, and a thinner rim compared to standard soda-lime glass. This material provides a more refined mouthfeel and a more elegant presentation for your spirits.
Yes, the dimensions of these tumblers are specifically engineered to accommodate large-format ice cubes or spheres comfortably. The wide base allows for easy stirring without the ice hitting the sides too aggressively.
While crystal is inherently more delicate than thick, utilitarian glass, Riedel’s tumblers are balanced for daily use. They are sturdy enough for regular enjoyment, though they should be handled with care to avoid chips or cracks from hard impacts.
