Glassware

The pressed glassware is fully dishwasher-safe. Hand-blown glassware can also go in the dishwasher with care — top rack only, no overcrowding, gentle cycle. For longest life, hand wash hand-blown pieces.

Hand-blown glass is shaped by an artisan with a blowpipe — slightly irregular shapes, thinner walls, finer detail. Pressed glass is machine-formed in a mold — uniform shapes, thicker walls, more durable for heavy daily use.

Universal wine glasses (10-12 oz, slightly tapered bowl) work for all wines and are the best starting set. Add red-specific (larger bowl) or white-specific (smaller bowl) glasses if you regularly serve a single varietal.

Rocks glasses are typically 3-4 inches tall and hold 8-10 oz; highballs are 5-6 inches tall and hold 12-14 oz; coupes are 4-5 inches with a wide shallow bowl. Each shape was developed for specific drinks but works flexibly.

Glass naturally chips if dropped on hard surfaces, but our glassware is designed for everyday use — thicker rims and bases on pressed pieces, careful annealing on hand-blown pieces. Treat them like glasses, not crystal, and they last years.

Yes — many tables look better with a mix. Hand-blown wine glasses with pressed water and rocks glasses works visually, and the price split lets you spend on the wine glasses where the difference matters most.
