Saint-Louis Tommy Champagne Flutes

No, these vintage crystal flutes must be hand-washed only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-blown crystal and the intricate cut glass detailing, a dishwasher can cause clouding, chipping, or thermal shock.

In this context, 'vintage' indicates that these pieces were produced in the past and are not current, mass-produced inventory. They carry the historical craftsmanship and specific design characteristics associated with the Saint-Louis Tommy line from previous production eras.

Store them upright in a stable, dust-free cabinet away from high-traffic areas. Because they are fine crystal, avoid stacking them or placing them where they might knock against other glassware.

Yes, because these flutes are handmade and hand-blown, minor variations in the glass thickness or the cut patterns are normal. These small differences are hallmarks of authentic artisanal production rather than defects.

Saint-Louis is renowned for its traditional high-quality lead crystal, which is what gives the Tommy collection its signature clarity, weight, and light-refracting brilliance. This is standard for vintage pieces from this manufacturer.
