This pair of Fluted Champagne Glasses are stunningly simple and elegant. The bowl is slightly larger at the bottom.

Did you know that real crystal is known by the ring that emits when the glass is flicked with the finger nail? These glass ring in deep tones that last at full 5 seconds. Each glass has a different tone, attesting to the hand-blown creation. Another feature of real crystal is that the more they are used and washed, the stronger the glass becomes.

Of course, they should be handled with care (watch out for the kids!) but your collection of wine glasses will never lose its shiny personality, and they’ll hardly ever scratch. If you love wine, consider investing in fine crystal glasses
