Ajka Crystal Marsala Brandy Glass

Yes, this piece is crafted from 24% lead crystal. This material is chosen for its superior clarity, weight, and ability to refract light, which enhances the visual appeal of the cut-to-clear design.

Because of the delicate nature of the hand-cut crystal and the cased-color technique, we strongly recommend hand washing these glasses with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can dull the finish and potentially damage the intricate detailing.

The cased-color technique involves layering a colored glass over a clear glass base. Artisans then carefully cut through the colored layer to reveal the clear crystal underneath, creating the striking contrast and depth you see in the pattern.

Yes, 10.1 ounces is an ideal size for a brandy or cognac snifter. It provides enough room to swirl the spirit, which helps aerate the liquid and concentrate the aromas toward the rim for a better tasting experience.

Since each glass is handcrafted by master artisans, you may notice subtle variations in the cut or color intensity. These slight differences are not defects but rather hallmarks of the authentic, traditional glassmaking process.
