FAQs

Are these glasses truly dishwasher safe?

While crystal is durable, hand washing is the recommended method by Dartington Crystal to maintain the glass's pristine quality and clarity. If you choose to use a dishwasher, opt for a gentle cycle and low heat, ensuring the glasses are placed securely.

What is the capacity of each glass?

Each Wine & Dine Highball glass has a capacity of 46cl (approximately 15.5 fluid ounces).

How tall are the glasses?

The glasses measure 14.4cm in height.

Can I use these for hot beverages?

These highball glasses are designed primarily for cold beverages. While crystal can withstand some temperature changes, it is not recommended for prolonged use with very hot liquids.

What makes crystal glassware different from regular glass?

Crystal glassware typically contains lead oxide (or other metal oxides in lead-free crystal), which gives it greater clarity, brilliance, and a distinctive ring when tapped. It is also generally heavier and more durable than standard glass.

How should I store these glasses?

Store the glasses upright on a stable surface. Avoid stacking them directly on top of each other to prevent chipping. Ensure there is adequate space between them.

Is this set suitable as a gift?

Yes, the Wine & Dine Highball Glasses are considered a practical and elegant gift, suitable for housewarmings, weddings, birthdays, or holidays.

Troubleshooting

Glasses appear cloudy after washing.

This is likely due to mineral deposits from hard water or improper drying. Try washing again with a mild vinegar and water solution, followed by thorough drying with a soft cloth.

Noticed a small chip or crack.

Inspect the glass carefully. Due to the nature of crystal, chips or cracks can occur with impact. Handle with care during washing and use.

Water spots after air drying.

Ensure glasses are dried immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth after washing to prevent water spots from forming.
