Know before you buy
The fused double-layer design provides a substantial, weighted feel in the hand that single-walled glasses lack. It also offers subtle insulation, which helps maintain the temperature of your drink while creating a unique, tactile texture.
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Because it is hand-blown and features a delicate double-wall construction, we recommend handwashing it gently to preserve the integrity of the glass.
While the glass is insulated, it is designed primarily as a rocks glass for spirits and cold beverages. It is not microwave safe and should not be subjected to extreme temperature shocks.
The glass has a capacity of 7.5 ounces. This makes it perfectly sized for a standard pour of whiskey or a classic cocktail served over a large ice cube.
Because each piece is meticulously hand-blown by master craftsmen in Japan, there may be slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that every glass is unique.
