• Versatile Elegant Sizing: At 5 1/4 inches tall, these glasses bridge the gap perfectly between small white wine glasses, heavy port/sherry aperitifs, and elegant cocktail tasting stemware.

Care Instructions
To preserve the pristine clarity and legacy of fine hand-cut lead crystal, hand-wash these glasses only in warm water with mild dish soap and a soft cloth. Never wash fine vintage crystal in an automatic dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat can cloud or scratch the finish over time.
