Know before you buy
The gold detailing is applied with high-quality craftsmanship, but it is delicate. To maintain the luster and prevent the gold from wearing off, you must hand-wash the glass carefully and avoid abrasive sponges.
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. The combination of hand-blown crystal and 24-carat gold accents requires gentle hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the material and the finish.
With a 34 cl capacity and a classic mug shape, this glass is well-suited for light lagers, pilsners, or artisanal ales. Its design is intended to showcase the clarity and carbonation of premium beers.
The CHOPE OR features a thin base, which contributes to its elegant, refined silhouette. It is designed to feel sophisticated and balanced in the hand rather than heavy or utilitarian.
No, this piece is crafted from traditional Saint-Louis crystal, which contains lead to achieve its signature clarity, weight, and light-refracting properties.
Because of the intricate Venetian ribs and bevels, it is best to store the glass upright in a dedicated cabinet or display area. Avoid stacking other glassware inside or on top of it to prevent chips or scratches to the delicate crystal surface.
