Ajka Crystal Marsala Wine Glass

Yes, these glasses are crafted from traditional lead crystal to achieve their signature clarity and vibrant ruby hue. Because they contain lead, they should be hand-washed to maintain their finish and integrity.

The 200 ml capacity holds approximately 6.8 ounces. This is ideal for a standard 5-ounce pour, allowing enough room in the glass for the wine to breathe and swirl without risking spills.

The ruby red color is infused directly into the crystal during the hand-blowing process. Because the color is part of the material itself rather than a surface coating, it will not fade or peel over time.

While the crystal is chip-resistant, we strongly recommend hand-washing these glasses. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can cloud the crystal and potentially damage the delicate hand-blown structure.

The shape and height of the Marsala glass are designed to provide the necessary surface area for red wine to aerate. This helps soften tannins and release the complex aromas typical of full-bodied reds.
