FAQs

Are these glasses dishwasher safe?

No, the Tom Dixon Tank High Ball Glasses are not dishwasher safe. They must be hand washed only to preserve their quality and finish.

What does 'mouth-blown glass' mean?

Mouth-blown glass is made by skilled artisans who blow molten glass through a pipe to shape it by hand. This process creates unique pieces, often with slight variations that add to their character.

What is the 'ombré finish'?

The ombré finish refers to the gradient effect applied to the black glass, creating a subtle transition in color or opacity.

What are the dimensions of the glasses?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but they are described as having a tall body suitable for high ball drinks.

Can I use these for hot beverages?

These glasses are designed for cold beverages. Using them with hot liquids is not recommended.

What is the capacity of each glass?

The capacity is not specified, but the 'tall body' design suggests a standard high ball glass volume suitable for cocktails and mixers.

How should I store these glasses?

Store them carefully in a stable location, preferably where they won't be subject to impact. Hand-washing and drying them thoroughly before storage will help maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Glass appears cloudy after washing

This may be due to hard water residue. Ensure you are drying the glasses immediately with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots.

Slight imperfections in the glass

As these are handcrafted, mouth-blown items, minor variations or small air bubbles are characteristic and part of their unique charm, not a defect.

Concern about fragility

Handle with care, especially when washing and drying. The thick base offers stability, but the rim and body require gentle handling.
