Troubleshooting
Glass appears cloudy after washing
Ensure your dishwasher detergent is suitable for glassware. Run a cleaning cycle for your dishwasher if it hasn't been cleaned recently. For handwashing, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Minor chips or scratches on the glass
Handle glassware with care, especially when placing them in cabinets or on surfaces. While durable, glass can chip if knocked against hard objects. Minor imperfections may occur over time with regular use.
Glasses feel heavier than expected
The glasses feature a heavy base for stability and a premium feel. This is an intentional design element. If the weight is a concern, consider lighter glassware options.
