Know before you buy
To preserve the luster of the platinum detailing and the clarity of the crystal, we recommend hand-washing these glasses with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the delicate platinum finish over time.
This glass has a capacity of 22 cl, making it an ideal size for serving water, sparkling water, or even a sophisticated cocktail at the dinner table.
While the Thistle collection is crafted from fine, hand-blown crystal, it is designed for regular use on prestigious tables. However, due to its delicate Venetian ribs and beveling, it should be handled with care and stored securely to avoid chipping.
The platinum accents are applied as a decorative frieze and do not significantly alter the balance of the glass. The piece is weighted to feel substantial and stable in the hand, consistent with Saint-Louis's high standards for craftsmanship.
Yes, the Platine N°2 is designed to complement the broader Thistle collection. Its signature Nancy thistle emblem and Venetian ribbing ensure it pairs seamlessly with other items in the series for a cohesive table setting.
