Know before you buy
No, this glass is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted crystal and its intricate faceted design, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its clarity.
The Harcourt 1841 has a capacity of 6.75 ounces. While it is categorized as a red wine glass, its size and shape are best suited for lighter-bodied reds or as a versatile formal glass for various wine styles.
No, the Harcourt 1841 collection is lead-free. Baccarat utilizes high-quality crystal that offers the brilliance and clarity expected of fine stemware without the use of lead.
Because of the architectural, faceted design, it is best to store these glasses upright in a stable cabinet. Avoid stacking them, as the hexagonal foot and intricate stem are susceptible to chipping if they come into contact with other glassware.
While the glass is durable enough for occasional use, it is primarily designed as a statement piece for formal settings and ceremonies. Its historical significance and handcrafted detail make it better suited for celebrations and curated tablescapes rather than everyday casual dining.
