Galway Crystal Eyre Flute Set of 4 - White

No, these Galway Crystal Eyre Flutes are not dishwasher safe. Handwashing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to protect the delicate crystal and intricate cuts.

While specific capacity can vary slightly due to the nature of handmade crystal, these flutes are typically designed to hold standard single servings of sparkling wine, around 150-200 ml (5-7 fl oz).

While primarily designed for sparkling wines due to their shape, you can use them for any beverage you wish to serve with elegance. However, for optimal aroma and taste for still wines, traditional wine glasses are usually preferred.

Store them upright in a safe place where they won't be knocked over. Avoid stacking them directly; consider using protective dividers or storing them in a lined cabinet.

Fine crystal typically contains a significant percentage of lead oxide (or other metal oxides in lead-free crystal), which gives it brilliance, clarity, and a resonant tone. The intricate cutting process further enhances these properties.

While the design is elegant for everyday luxury, the fine crystal nature means they are best reserved for special occasions or when you wish to add an extra touch of sophistication to your dining. Regular use requires diligent care to prevent damage.

This is likely due to mineral deposits from hard water or insufficient rinsing. Try rewashing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse water, or use distilled water for washing and rinsing. Ensure they are dried thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Due to the nature of crystal, chips or cracks can occur with impact or mishandling. Unfortunately, small chips or cracks are often irreparable in fine crystal. Handle with extreme care to prevent future damage.

Ensure the flutes are clean and free from smudges or residue. The intricate cuts are designed to catch light, so a thorough cleaning and polishing will maximize their sparkle.
