FAQs
Is the design printed or etched?
The design is etched into the glass, meaning it is a permanent fixture and will not wear off or fade with washing.
Can this glass hold hot liquids?
It is designed as a tumbler for cold or room-temperature beverages and should not be used with boiling liquids to prevent thermal shock.
What is the capacity of the tumbler?
This is a standard-sized tumbler typical of the Dartington range, suitable for a single measure of spirits and ice.
Is the glass fragile?
While made of high-quality crystal glass, it is still glass and should be handled with care to avoid impact against hard surfaces.
Can I put this in the freezer?
While it can be chilled, avoid placing it in a freezer for prolonged periods as rapid temperature changes can stress the glass.
Troubleshooting
Etching looks cloudy or dull after dishwasher use
This is likely hard water residue. Hand wash with a soft cloth and a mixture of water and vinegar to restore clarity.
Glass has fingerprints on the etched section
Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the area; avoid abrasive brushes that could catch on the etched design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this glass is crafted for longevity, it requires no complex setup. Before the first use, it is recommended to wash the glass with warm, soapy water to remove any dust from the packaging process. While the product is dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack away from other heavy glassware will help prevent accidental chipping or scratching of the etched surface over time. Store the glass in its original gift box if it is intended to be used as a collector's item rather than everyday drinkware to prevent dust accumulation in the etched crevices.
