Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these glasses safe for hot drinks?

While borosilicate glass is thermal-resistant, they are designed primarily for cold water or room-temperature beverages. Use caution if serving hot liquids.

Can I use these in the microwave?

Microwave use is generally not recommended to avoid potential thermal stress on the handmade glass.

What is the material composition?

The glasses are made from high-quality, flame-worked borosilicate glass.

How many glasses come in a set?

The set includes four individual glasses.

Are they stackable?

Due to their unique octagonal prism shape, they are not intended for vertical stacking and should be placed side-by-side.

Where are these glasses made?

These glasses are designed by Valerio Sommella and produced by Ichendorf Milano, a brand with deep historical roots in Milanese craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Water spots or cloudy appearance after washing

Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth or a mixture of white vinegar and water to remove mineral deposits.

Glass feels slippery during use

The faceted sides are designed for better grip; ensure hands are dry before handling to maintain a secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Octave glassware remains in pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Dishwasher Use: These glasses are dishwasher safe; however, you must select the 'low temperature' or 'delicate' cycle to protect the integrity of the glass.
  2. Hand Washing: While machine washable, hand washing with mild detergent and a soft cloth is recommended to preserve the clarity of the borosilicate glass over time.
  3. Storage: Store upright in a cupboard away from heavy metal or ceramic items to prevent chipping against the glass facets.
  4. Temperature: Avoid subjecting the glass to extreme thermal shock, such as moving it directly from a freezing environment into boiling liquid.
