Made in Europe, our glassware collections are either made of pressed-glass, our mouth-blown glass using semi-manual methods. Wine glasses, water glasses and tumblers can be safely used in the dishwasher. However, hand washing will prolong the life of the products. To maintain the original qualities we advise some extra care:
- Before placing glasses in the dishwasher it is advisable to rinse them in lukewarm water to eliminate any residues;
- Washing glassware by hand: handwash glasses individually with a non-abrasive detergent, warm water, and a soft sponge or cloth;
- In the dishwasher: place glasses in the appropriate rack to avoid scratches. The washing temperature for the dishwasher should be 65 ºC (140 ºF) with a rinsing phase at 65 ºC (149 ºF) and a washing cycle of approximately 90/120 seconds. Carefully dose the brightener, an excess amount may cause iridescence on the glass surface, and a poor amount leaves water drop marks on the bowl. At the end of the washing program, open the door and leave it ajar for 5/10 minutes to vent steam and avoid the formation of halos on the glass due to condensation;
- Dry with a microfiber cloth.
We recommend you wash oversized items and more delicate pieces by hand, namely bordeaux/ burgundy/ chardonay glasses, our decanters, glass domes, and all items from our recycled glass collection Tosca.
